In the DNC Primary, if it comes down to Joe Biden vs. Bernie Sanders, who do you choose?

[Exellus]

Let's say after the first wave of states these are the only two people in striking distance. Which do you prefer?

 

[EPaul]

my head says Biden but my heart says Bernie.....Bernie

 

[stumblebee]

I'd be sad as fuck that they're the two left standing.

 

[carlsojo]

Diamond Joe all the way.

[Phrozenflame500]

has Biden laid out any policy positions yet?

 

[Ichthyosaurus]

Spoiler

Biden. But I dislike them both immensely.

 

[Sordid Plebeian]

Whoever has the best chance of beating Trump. I think Bernie would lose, but it really depends on the momentum of the two we see when we get to that point.

 

[Tidus]

If you wanna win I would most likely go with Biden.

Einstein?

 

[TheGhost]

Biden isn't a socialist so Grandpa Joe all the way.

Plus Biden can go two terms where Bernie would get voted out after one.

 

[Ada]

That's one way to lose an election.

 

[PMS341]

If I had to choose between the two, Bernie has better policies, so Bernie.

 

[ned_ballad]

Biden

I very much dislike Bernie

 

[Scheris]

Biden. Look how flustered Bernie got at the debates last time. It'd be even worse in this cycle.

 

[acheron_xl]

Sanders. 100%.

I sincerely hope this is not the choice, though. I'd prefer neither.

 

[Strike]

Neither of them are my ideal choice, but Sanders. Easily.

 

[Guts Of Thor]

Gross. No more old white dudes for president please.

 

[Deleted member 36054]

Biden. As it stands right now he has a better chance at beating Trump. I'd vote for either in the GE of course. Neither are my first choice.

 

[Tansut]

Even though I agree with a lot of Sanders' policies, I honestly can't stand the man and I think he'd be pretty ineffective as POTUS.

So Biden I guess.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Bernie has zero chance of winning. Biden has the best chance.

So Biden.

 

[Newlib]

Neither are my first choice (in fact they are close to the bottom two) but Bernie

 

[Arc]

My first priority is beating Trump and not losing the RBG Supreme Court seat, so definitely Biden.

 

[DrewFu]

Easy, Biden.

 

[thefro]

Probably Biden unless he was running a shaky campaign at that point.

Bernie's best case scenario is being a US version of Jeremy Corbyn

 

[Casa]

Yuck. I'd hold my nose and vote for Biden because I think he'd have a much better chance against Trump in the general. Don't think Bernie would do as well in those swing states as Biden would. States like Michigan, Pennsylvania, Florida, etc.

 

[Xx 720]

Biden as I don't think Bernie can win the general and I can't take another Trump term.

 

[Haloid1177]

Biden. Though he's far from my preferred choice.

 

[BarcaTheGreat]

Poll shouldn't be this close.. why so many Biden supporters here?

 

[Wijuci]

Which old white man should be President next?
Humm...

 

[Indy in the Fridge]

Mr. or Ms. Outside Hire

Because we don't want a 6-3 Surpeme Court. How is this a question?

 

[Tfritz]

I can't really imagine Biden making it that far

People still believe in the concept of electability, even though we all lived through the 2016 election.

 

[Aaron]

I'm just going to pretend this is in a total vacuum where the Senate elections break down the same way no matter who the nominee is - then it's Bernie.

However that would absolutely be a deciding factor in practice and I'd probably go with Biden in that scenario. Better to get half of what I want with Biden and a D Congress than nothing with Bernie and an R Congress.

 

[TooBusyLookinGud]

I hope neither, but if I had to choose, I'd reluctantly go Biden.

Bernie would get smoked.

Lol. It's my man, Bernie.

 

[Sephzilla]

I'd probably lean Bernie but I'd feel fine with either of those being the nominee

Because we want to see Democrat president in 2020.

 

[GrapeApes]

Biden would be more electable.

 

[notte]

I'd vote for Bernie in the primary, but Biden in the general. Pretty much the same as 2016.

 

[kamineko]

It would be a very calculated thing based on who seemed most likely to win because I don't like either. It's so frustrating that Sanders is the best the DSA can come up with.

 

[Zombegoast]

Bernie. Biden would get destroyed by Trump.

Not yet, he still hasn't Copy and Paste the policy from the other candidates to Word yet.

Biden.

Though I would be disappointed as fuck that Kamala and Beto both lost out.

As if none of the Sanders base trots out the "Sanders was polling better than Clinton" line whenever it's convenient for them

It's entirely possible people just don't like Bernie. People can agree with his policies, but think he'd be a terrible president.

 

[mikeys_legendary]

Bernie for sure.

 

[ValiantChaos]

Biden in a heartbeat. Bernard is never getting my vote under any circumstance unless it's the general.
