    At least you’re admitting Bernie would have won in 2016.

    But yeah, I’m similarly pessimistic about the 2016 Bernie alt-history. Too many conservative democrats would have stood against his agenda.

    The electability argument has been proven to be false —Kamala lost, Zorhan won—, conservative dems don’t offer to improve people’s lives materially. What is the positive case for conservative democrats at this point? (Other than “They aren’t as bad as Trump”.)

      I mean, they did with Obama. It’s why the ACA we got is identical to what Clinton ran on.
