2020 Presidential election



This is actually an interesting story that's being overlooked. In a virtually meaningless primary process for Republicans, Trump is turning out more voters than the leading Dem candidates in many cases.

The media are saying, "Wow, look at the turnout at some of these primaries." This is true, but a significant portion of that turnout is mobilizing for Trump even when there's no need for it.

Not only is it overlooked but it is hidden.
 
don’t you think that’ll make them less relevant?
As far as electing someone as president, sure it makes them less relevant. It just seems strange to me that someone like Sanders can run for office, but have such a different political position than the vast majority of the party he is running with. The very fact that he doesn't call himself a Democrat should speak volumes.
If Bernie had never branded himself as a socialist, and focused on one or two impactful new potential government programs (such as healthcare reform/single payer), he would be winning the Democratic ticket by a landslide. Instead, he praised Cuba, denounced capitalism, and pushed a lot of agendas that most moderate democrats were not on board with (cancelling student loans, free college, green new deal, housing for all, moratorium on deportations, universal childcare, etc.)

The two party system isn’t going anywhere. Rather than start from scratch and start a new party, why not continue to (slowly) turn the Democratic Party and National left?
The country has been slowly turning left for a long time. Democratic Socialists have nothing to do with it. The Woke Left and Socialism are scaring a lot of people in the other direction.
