@JohnnyJo90 "Bernie is going to SWEEP the midwest states that Trump only won by 1% or less in 2016". I appreciate you at least acknowledging the statistics and reality of politics, I see Kamala Harris supporters in constant denial and ignoring these facts when she's just a Hillary 2.0, which we all know how that turned out. Bernie did ridiculously well in midwest states and the Rust Belt, which is how Trump won his own presidency. With all the Carrier and GM factories closing in those areas, Trump is not going to win them again when faced with a true populist like Bernie. However, I think where you're wrong is when you said there will be a "red wave" in response to a Bernie presidency. Bernie giving healthcare to all Americans, raising the minimum wage, ending shitty trade deals that Trump renegotiated, and creating a jobs program and a new New Deal to fix our infrastructure will only win him praise among Republicans just as he won Republicans and "conservative Democrats" over Hillary in 2016. When FDR was president in the 1930s and 1940s, he had very little competition and Bernie is basically the modern-day FDR. In addition, if the Left is finally successful in flushing out Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer from leadership in 2020, then there will be even less of a red wave since those two are wildly hated not only by the right-wing but also by the left-wing.
