Anyone who says winning should be a breeze is an absolute idiot. You're dealing with a cult and an electoral college that skews the race toward the Republicans. She'll win the popular vote, but that's all that's certain.

Honestly, it should be easy if you embrace economic populist policies, but instead Harris is running to the neocons and trying to triangulate to present herself as a principled Republican.

It literally doesn't matter. She's still going to lose all the red states. She's not swaying any Trump voters with that message, they've already decided, for the most part, to vote against their own interest.

False. Bernie was steamrolling and then the neocons threw it with Hillary.

Can you not tell the difference between a primary and general election?

Average liberal talking to people like they don't know about politics while not knowing about poltics.

Go research what the DNC did in 2016 then come back.

Here's what I said:

I'm obviously talking about the general election currently happening with Trump. 2016 Democratic primary is irrelevant. I'm sorry you're so confused.

Red states don't matter. Swing states do. Bernie was poised for a big win until the DNC staged a coup.
