Gun to their heads, who do you think Republicans would be more willing to work with? Biden or Sanders?
As a republican I would definitely say Biden. Without a doubt.
It's almost as if I said SOME of the whitest states..
Don't be fooled by red-baiting, you're better than that.
They work with neither and we just get the same situation as the obama years where nothing really happened with legislation.
Nobody. They get too much out of slapping the hand away of anyone on the left. The only chance to get things done in a way that isn't undone the next time a Republican becomes president is to flip the senate and nuke the filibuster.
It's true. after 8 years of bipartisanship under Obama, I'm sure they'll be willing to give Biden the same treatment
:(
watchu doin round here son
I'm sorry I want people to afford insulin after companies purposefully jacked up the prices for profit.
Neither of them
Their playbook for a Democratic President is to obstruct obstruct obstruct.
What you're describing isn't socialism, it's humanism, but feel free to cheer on Biden's police state and broken healthcare system, I know that spending your life savings on freak medical emergencies is the "return to normalcy" that people crave.
After two states that didn't really do anyone a favor, Bernie's Nevada win was undoubtedly impressive ... and I think Biden's win here is equally impressive.
Definitely feeling like a two-candidate race.
It will be interesting to see what Bloomberg does to Biden's chances on Tuesday...

Sorry I don't want my friends and loved ones to die because they can't afford their insulin.
If you don't mind my asking, why are you a republican?
Capitalism is very good and does not create insane wealth disparity which results in needless human suffering
His appeal is pretty easy to understand once you realize that the US isn't as progressive as people think.
Shouldn't be hard to understand.
FDR's type of socialism though?
New Deal socialism.
Many of the USAs best programs for the people are based in socialist idealogies.
socialism =/= social democracy. Bernie describes himself as "democratic socialist" but his policies are clearly social democratic ala Olof Palme or Clement Atlee
Literally nothing. Biden was always gonna win SC since it was the one state he campaigned for the hardest. The only people even talking about Bernie and Castro anymore are the people hand wringing about how "oh this is definitely gonna sink Bernie".

"The civil rights movement always was targeted by those that would use the Red Scare. They accused Dr. King of being a communist. We've been down that road before."

He does call himself a socialist, but his policies are more consistent with New Deal-type social safety net type programs. A lot of bad faith users liken it to Marxist-style ideology.
If you go by a textbook definition of socialism, Bernie is probably mistaken in calling himself one.
they won't work with either, or whoever the candidate is. That's been their playbook for so long and it's worked quiet well for them. This is why winning the senate is so important.
i will say that imo refusing to work with Biden will look worse for their optics across the country than refusing to with Bernie.
It's also smaller than Houston and predominantly white.
Is reading comprehension not a thing anymore?
Iowa - 90% white
New Hampshire - 93% white
2 out of 3 literally classifies as "some." I understand Biden winning may have some of you rattled, but I can promise you I have no underlying meaning.
Between the two, Biden, clearly...
But they have very little incentive to give Democrats anything resembling a "win" in this polarized political climate.
Yeah, literally doubling federal spending, giving workers 20% stake in the country's largest companies and making the participation of the federal government in the economy 2.5x higher than FDR did with the New Deal goes a little further than good ol' social democracy.
