    The GOP lurched to the right a few years back and that gave it a breath of fresh air and helped re-invigorate its base, like you. This lead the GOP to many victories, however recently they are suffering from waning popular support. The majority of Americans support Medicare for all, higher taxes on the wealthy, and other populist left-wing policies so the democrats moving to the left on some issues might give them that same reguvinated populist cause they have been lacking. But as with the GOP, they risk losing the center, and seeing waning popular support.

    You seem to vote based on labels like "socialist" or "globalist" rather than looking at actual policy positions.

    Bernie is the only candidate who can carry
    all the Hillary States and a few Red ones in the middle
    that all went Trump.

    That is an Electoral College win.

    No other candidate can do that.

    Socialist, so what.
    He can address red neck or Union laborers and have them cheering.
    Bernie speaks to substance, not labels.

    Across an immense, unguarded, ethereal border, Canadians, cool and unsympathetic,
    regard our America with envious eyes and slowly and surely draw their plans against us.

    Can say the same for the GOP. They have moved so far right, the middle is now the left to them.

    My point is that both parties have moved to extremes.

    Hardly. The republican party is mostly democrat light but Trump is actually more conservative than the rest of republicans who are scared of their own shadows.

    The reason you are saying that, funny enough, is that you are so radical right that you see moderate right as left wing.

    Again, thanks for proving my point. The left has moved so far left that moderates are now the far right.

    I hear he has a chance at the nomination until crazy Uncle Joe gets into it.
    I predict a spectacular defeat of the Democratic party in 2020. Then we'll see if it does any good.

    This made me laugh. A recent speech by Bernie.

    Bernie Sanders: "Donald Trump wants to divide us up based on the color of our skin, based on where we were born, based on our gender, our religion and our sexual orientation."

    Isn't that the current democratic platform?
