Why a Socialist aka Communist Will Lose the Presidential Election?

Bernie Sanders will lose because he's a socialist aka communist and Americans hate them.

"But according to a Gallup poll released Tuesday, Americans overwhelmingly are just fine with voting for a woman, as well as a black, Hispanic or (to a somewhat lesser extent) gay candidate. The sort of candidate a majority of Americans reject?

Socialist."

And...
"But the term ''socialist'' makes American voters squeamish, the poll found. More voters were willing to vote for a Muslim (66%) or an atheist (60%). And ''socialist'' was the only category of candidate for which the percentage of voters willing to cast a vote for such a contender actually went down from the previous survey, in June 2015."

Actually, I support any Democratic candidate who can defeat Trump.

America doesn't' have a national election for president so your poll is irrelevant. The decision for president will be made in 10-15 swing states. Those are the polls we need to see. CNBC showed one this morning which showed Biden leading and Bloomberg in 2nd place in a contest against Trump.

This is a very old November poll which is an example of what makes a good poll. It should show the individual swing states (most are missing here) with each candidate vs Trump and done repeatedly over weeks to see what the trends are re: each candidates strength against Trump. All the candidates are likely doing polls like this but their data isn't shown to us mere mortals.

A socialist is NOT the same as a communist!!!!!

[–] Keelai (31890) 4 years ago

In the minds of some Americans it is. Furthermore, in the minds of some Republicans and all Trumpites, all Democrats are considered socialists.

BTW, Bernie is a democrat socialist. They are against all free enterprise aka private businesses. Don't confuse with socialist democrats like Norway and Sweden which support private businesses.

Americans aren't going to vote for a socialist who hates private businesses as president. Americans like private businesses: McDonalds, Harley Davidson, Hersheys, Apple, etc. Bernie isn't electable.

Saying Americans hate socialists is like saying Americans hate bigots and chauvinists. It's not true enough to guarantee a security of the majority. There are too many in the middle that simply don't care one way or the other.

Right now Bernie is in the lead despite MSNBC and CNN working overtime to get Bloomberg in there.

If Bernie takes this whole thing to the nomination, the only way he loses in the GE is if MSNBC and CNN continue to blackball him. And even then, he probably still wins.

Bernie will lose because most Americans like their private health insurance and he wants to take it away.

He doesn't want to take it away, he just wants to redistribute your insurance to others, especially those that can't afford it and those that can't access it due to them being non-citizens. He just wants you to be a good commun err I mean socialist to flip the bill for people you don't know.
