he will pretty much get killt by a coalition of black voters (particularly in the south) and those educated/suburban moderates that accounted for the large majority of dem house gains in the midterms.

looking at how progressive candidates underperformed in competitive midterm general elections...he might actually be a weaker candidate this time around. a lot of dem voters have soured on the brand.

im just worried about the dem primary becoming toxic again with the potential divisiveness out of his supporters over hard feelings about losing and claims of establishment rigging. they feel entitled to the nomination in 2020 (like clinton in 2016...and 2008 lol).

the senior elections analyst at cnn sent out a tweet asking which potential 2020 dem candidate people thought was overrated. almost 5k replies and like 95% of people said bernie lol.
