Capitol Hill Blue Forums Political Issues Campaign 2020 First Bernie Sanders Thread 2020

We are so far over to the Right that a move to Bernie territory seemed to be too large a leap. Clearly in order to get back a center-left position we will have to make one step over to the center first, and then move a bit to the Left afterward.

A guy with Bernie's ideas would have ideally been the right man at the right time in the days of Jimmy Carter, but the Democrats were too complacent back then...they didn't even see the Reagan juggernaut coming.

But strictly politically speaking, the jump from Carter to Bernie would not have felt like a huge leap.

Clearly people have little memory of what CENTER-LEFT felt like back in the Carter days.
I remember but that's just me.
It felt normal.
