> "But I think he might possibly have had a better shot at beating Trump than Biden" If the populists didn't turn out enough to give Sanders the primaries, they're not going to turn out enough to give him the general election. > "I also think Bernie's approach to healthcare during the times we are in now would hold a lot of favor." I think that, outside of his own base, it was pretty clear to voters that Sanders was making promises that he'd never be able to get past Congress. They likely wouldn't have voted for Sanders in the general election. Not that I particularly like him but Biden is making far more realistic promises and has a better shot at unseating Trump IMO.

> If the populists didn't turn out enough to give Sanders the primaries, they're not going to turn out enough to give him the general election. I think that is an assumption because when you are down to 2 candidates only things change, all the Biden supporters (and others that already dropped) probably wont stay home and not vote. But who knows? >I think that, outside of his own base, it was pretty clear to voters that Sanders was making promises that he'd never be able to get past Congress. They likely wouldn't have voted for Sanders in the general election If the Senate goes blue after this election who knows. He was making large promises (they all do, where is our wall that Mexico is paying for as an example), but I think overall people now realize affordable healthcare is a bigger deal than people realize. I am curious what will happen if medical bills for COVID start getting mailed out prior to election day. 40k for treatment will break a lot of individuals and family's. I'm not on one side of the fence or the other. I think they all have good and bad things about them and think none of the candidates are good for the country in the long run. My original post was merely to say I do not believe Biden beats Trump.
