He’ll win next year +10.
These people are angry now but they hate Democrats too much to vote for them.

Then run a left leaning independent with messaging packaged for them to agree with. A lot on the right wanted Sanders in 2016. Medicare/Medicaid for all. Tax breaks for working families and raising taxes on corporations and the ultra wealthy.
See that was tried last year in Nebraska for a senate seat, and the unpopular Republican still won.
Y’all think it’s easy. That a bunch of white rural folks are gonna run to some magic progressive candidate as long as they aren’t a democrat.
90% of Nebraskans would rather shoot Bernie than vote for him.
I've seen this a lot lately and I don't see how people really think an Independent has good shot at anything right now. We are so insanely and annoyingly divided right now that many feel like they absolutely have to be on one side or the other. The thought of a candidate that's not team red or team blue will make most people shit their pants. At this point a vote for an independent is nothing more than just a vote for whoever is your opposition party.
Of course this could easily change if we didn't have first past the polls voting but heaven forbid we even look down that blasphemous road.
That truly warms my heart <3
Mine too.
