Well, nevermind, that was just friend Ben saying words that occurred to his brain in the moment. Someone read him a poll with those names and he agreed that they were on the list."Washington Post posted:“Who else was on the list?” he asked quietly, maintaining his usual inscrutable calm. The most favorably regarded contenders after himself, he was told, were John Kasich, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Sarah Palin and Chris Christie. And of course the Trump factor means we could get literally anyone. I half-expect Trump to pull a Time magazine and announce that the American people are his running mates.

Wapo has the most trite article I've seen in a while talking about how Hillary can lose if she does 1 of 12 things! Such as: - being too far to the right - being too far to the left - being indicted - not engaging Trump's attacks - Bill "going off the reservation" (might want to rethink that one, you dumb motherfucker) - not being likeable enough Can it be 6 months from now already? gently caress.

My establishment democrat friends are already arzying in real life about how Trump is going to somehow maybe win due to a combination of Trump picking up the dissatisfied working class people in Pennsylvania and Bernie making all the leftists hate her in the primary. It's already driving me crazy that I as the Bernie supporter have to explain to them that their candidate (and almost assuredly mine once the primary ends) is in a pretty solid position and stop freaking out .

A lot of people here forget that unlike a tiny fraction of nerds on the internet (we and our counterparts) and academia, nobody follows politics closely enough to predict outcomes based on demographic changes and electoral maps, so of course they're terrified of Trump.

Yeah it's worth pointing out (from your position, that is) that the vast majority of Bernie primary voters are going to be Hillary voters in the general. The noisy minority who say they will just vote Trump aren't really lost votes (in the sense that they were ever going to be potential Hillary -or Bernie- votes in the general) and most of those will probably just succumb to apathy by November anyway given their reasons for supporting Bernie in the primary. It isn't so much that Bernie's a non-factor (despite not having an honest shot at winning he did a good job of raising awareness for populist issues which are probably going to play a big part in the party's platform dialogue moving forward) but that the primary split isn't nearly as rancorous as internet comment sections would suggest.

Personally I'd be interested in a study on if Bernie energized some people to vote and get interested that normally wouldn't have and if he was a net positive for Democrats in the general election. I hear a lot of stuff that Bernie is poisoning leftists from voting Democrat by raising populist issues and I have to think that those sorts of voters aren't so out of touch as to not realize what the regular DNC is all about and be perfect Democratic party line voters until Bernie activated them by talking about free college. Those people aren't voting for Clinton regardless so they are basically a non-factor while the majority will vote Democrat in the fall. I think it's more likely that some politically apathetic people got involved when Sanders started specifically messaging to them instead of ignoring their issues and then once invested decided that voting was worth their time. That's just an un-grounded theory but I'd like to see if there is any truth to it. I also agree that the idea that Bernie and Hillary are savaging each other is laughable when you look to the right and see the clown show that was the GOP primary.

I dunno. My personal sample size is low of course, but I have a lot of bernie friends who spout bernie math all the time. I know most of them are claiming to vote 3rd party (libertarian party maybe? Greens? Too bad we don't have a real socialist/communist party that doesn't split every few years). I'll be interested to see how they vote after the convention, but I imagine they'll hold their noses and vote Hillary. Personally I loving hate the Clintons and won't be voting Democrats even if Bernie won the nomination (I've always voted 3rd party; the best way to burn your vote). Hate me.
