about the democratic polls showing Sanders and Buttigieg ahead - and Biden tanking. I know it's too soon to worry, but I am concerned. I worry about the young Sanders supporters not "falling in line" if Sanders doesn't win the Primary nomination. I worry that they are too young and naive to see the big picture - DEFEAT TRUMP. They may just say "**** it" and not even vote in the General Election. Democratic socialism is fine - but Sanders is too far left for this time.
Can anyone talk me off the ledge?
I have mixed feelings....
On one hand Democratic Socialism has been a huge success everywhere it's been implemented - and it's long overdue for the democratic socialists in the U.S. to stand up to the suppression that they've suffered for the past 70 years.
On the other hand, I'd be a whole lot more comfortable with a moderate Democrat that had a better chance of beating Trump. Sanders is going to scare the be-jesus out of a lot of moderates and independents.
Of course, if they had a brain, they'd be a lot more scared of a second Trump term.
