I just hope he isn’t too progressive for the moderate voters
I think this is more of a myth than anything, that voters get turned off by a “too progressive” agenda. Bernie was immensely popular, even if he didn’t end up winning the primary. And I think he probably would have helped Hillary a lot if she had picked him as VP instead of Kaine, who didn’t help her at all.
Bernie was very popular in blue cities, but middle America thinks he’s a nut job. There’s zero chance he would have done as well as Biden in a general election for exactly the reasons I’m concerned about here.
