re: #465 NO SMOCKING GUN!

Here’s the thing. Democrats like us are going to #votebluenomatterwho. We are in the bank. However many marginal voters Bernie would bring in who otherwise wouldn’t vote increase our odds of winning. I think it could be a lot, you think not so much, but it would all be positive. People who will run to Trump at the sound of the word “socialist” probably aren’t going to vote democratic anyway.

There’s also the question of how many marginal voters he turns off. Remember in a “two person race” there are actually three options: Republican, Democrat, not voting. I think a Sanders-Trump general election would probably end up being a super low turn out election. And I’m not entirely sure who that would help, in part because of the electoral college.
