there was a poll with generic democrat vs trump and the generic candidate won. Pick literally any outsider below the age of 60

[@gaelsarmiento4496]

The problem is that the generic democrat doesn't exist. If you are a politician then you will have a past and hold positions that will both attract and push away voters. Every politician has a negative quality, but when you say "generic democrat" it completely removes that.

No Dem will beat Trump, despite the lies of the media.

[@honeyisthebestdog]

No. No there was not. Link or gtfo

[@johncharlton199]

Sanders would have smashed trump in the General. On god.

[@Conservator.]

I like Sanders a lot but he’s considered too extreme for many voters independent voters and even part of the democrats. He therefore wouldn’t be the best to take on Trump imo.

[@danielbliss1988]

He'd have had a good shot but an open seat race and a less-than-stellar second-term record under Obama's presidency by the Democrats (due in main part to their losses in Congress in 2010 and 2014) made for a very difficult situation for any Democratic nominee. And Sanders' opportunity was strictly 2016; he took the political establishment by surprise with a very outsiderish campaign with broad appeal from the left to the center-right, but by 2018 Trump adviser Brad Parscale had figured out how to make the socialism label stick again and Sanders had pivoted more to a conventional liberal Democrat, losing some of his indie support.

I love how the "downside" of Kamala in this piece is just some random guy saying "the country is not ready for this". I hear a lot of people say they dislike her but I never hear why.

[@joelouellette]

One big reason is because she`s a former prosecutor who locked up scores of people from majority black neighborhoods for marijuana possession. But then, once it started becoming trendy to smoke it and more left-leaning people started advocating for weed decriminalization, she straight up filmed herself lighting up a joint, laughing as she did so. Which, I mean, fine, but she has never once addressed her past of playing the dirty cop

[@rjjcms1]

Do the voters of the Democratic Party believe she is up to the job of President? If they did she would be the obvious candidate as Vice President,but it seems like they don't have confidence in her. I don't know enough of the background to this being on the other side of the Atlantic.
