Comment on If a leftist ran for president, would liberals support him?

I think democrats would, for the most part, perhaps less enthusiastically, but since they hate Trump, I think it would not be a major issue.
The question is, how would low-information unaffiliated voters respond to having a socialist in the ballot? This is a difficult question to answer. Traditionally socialism is a bad word in US politics, albeit less so with younger voters.
Personally I don’t really buy the “Bernie would have won” stuff but there’s really only one way to find out.

I don’t think a Demo candidate can afford to have low enthusiasm amongst liberals, that’s their biggest base.

Except all the liberals insisted they would vote for Biden’s corpse before letting Trump win. What does it say about them if an actual progressive is the real dealbreaker?

Nothing good, but nothing surprising.
