President Biden performs best among several high-profile Democrats in hypothetical general election match-ups against former President Trump, according to a new poll. The Emerson College survey re…
I think maybe you might be the one who gets it in the morning. You’ve internalized the framing sold to you by establishment media and can’t seem to see past it. You have no understanding of how a socialist can do better than a centrist in red states, so you reject what polling tells us is true.
Most of the ire directed at “socialists” comes from the association of Socialists and Democrats with elitism. Actual Socialists are not elitist and can speak to the actual needs of voters in a way that centrists do not.
Maybe people are more complicated than something that can be measured across a single dimension?
Socialist concepts actually sell a whole lot better in red states than blue, even as the word itself doesn’t. Farmers co-ops are extremely common. VFW halls in rural areas are often busy social centers. Poorer areas like those around abandoned coal mines are totally dependent on federal aid. Such areas care a hell of a lot more about issues than labels.
Take a look on YouTube for some old videos of Bernie doing town halls in the deep south. That will tell you a lot more than I could.

Check that polling again. “Socialist” is not the slur it used to be.
They accuse middle-right Biden of being a socialist constantly, for a huge part of America it’s the worst slur you can be called.
Probably no worse than “Democrat”. Anyways, you said it yourself, they even call Biden a socialist. Exactly how far right to you think a Democrat has to go to get those votes? Anyways, Bernie knows how to reach red state Republican voters. https://apnews.com/article/joe-biden-health-election-2020-184f4519c756479c3bf082108e7ea17e
Wow, your comment is a mess.
Have a nice night.
Hopefully you’ll understand what I’m saying in the morning.

Bernie couldn’t even win the primary, how was he supposed to win presidency?
There was a reason Trump was pushing to run against Bernie in 2020.
Americans will never again be allowed to elect someone who calls themselves a socialist.
