        I’d also vote for Bernie (VP or Pres.), still. But, I think there are younger progressives that could fill the role quite well.

        I’d even take someone more centrist for the VP role, since that might make it easier for them to attract (Super)PAC monies.

          In this moment, any candidate who receives super PAC funding from corporations or Israel is a bad candidate.

          Centrism is dead. The right is dying. This is a time for moving towards socialism.

            We are still a FPtP system, you don’t get to write off the majority, if you want to gain political power through elections. Right+Center > 50% of electorate.

            Taking resources away from “bad” organizations, and using them for the socialist project is a good thing. The trick is not given them (as much) value in return.

                  Wow, what a surprise, someone who believes that two party politics is representative of the left/right of politics is wrong about things.

                    You don’t appear to have read the second source, which contains almost identical numbers for Left/Center/Right labels. That shows that (a) both of my sources are relevant because (b) in the U.S. party politics does track left/right politics.

                    In addition, you have still failed to provide any evidence for your claims.
