13368515, Sanders is best positioned to gain traction in a red leaning electoral map

As backwards as that sounds

There are a whole bunch of people in those states like Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania that typically don't vote. They don't care about politics. Until someone comes in and starts talking directly to them. Trump did that in 2016. Bernie is doing that now.

How are you going to win those people over with a candidate that is talking about "let's be moderate. Let's go back to business as usual. Let's not rock the boat"?

I think Sanders has a better chance of getting those key voters than a Biden or buttigieg. And there is enough anti Trump sentiment in the Democratic party that Sanders won't turn off too many people that much.
