Meh.
Everyone isn't going to agree.
Times change. Tell me about the equivalent to Obamacare that Johnson passed. Etc.
As long as you continue to see the glass as 90% empty when a Democrat is in office, rather than recognizing that the Democrats prevented the Teabaggers from smashing the glass to bits and sent us down the road to dehydration and death, then you're going to be disappointed. :-/
The (slightly) more liberal guy was flawed - he had little to no support among women and minorities. (Shall we talk about the NRA?) A Democrat can't win without their support. And he didn't (ignoring the fact, for the moment, that he's still not a Democrat). He's got huge baggage (his writings, his interviews, where are his taxes?, what are his campaign's ties to Putin?, his inability to explain how he would "break up the banks", etc.). And too many voters (I'm among them) don't agree with his thesis that everything in politics is economics and that all the bad thing about economics can be fixed in Washington or that McConnell "looking out his window" at a big rally is the way to actually make progress.
But we're just going around in circles.
Who do you like in 2020, and think could actually win? I dunno. I think Bernie is too old and too damaged. You? Surely out of 100+M Democrats there's someone out there that you think could get 66+M popular votes and 270 EC votes. (Not just someone whose policies you like, but someone who could actually win.)
Is there a dark horse out there? I remember being surprised when Silverlock (IIRC) came out early for Obama before he even announced (IIRC). But he was right.
Cheers,
Scott.
