Retiring from politics means not being part of politics anymore.

43+14 > 50.

Or is this the new "Bernie math" I'm hearing about?

Presumably, the 14% of voters who want Sanders to retire from politics do not want him to run again.

I mean I don't want him to run again due to age reasons and the fact that I'd want someone who kind of fits in that ideological axis but is younger,  but I'd support him 100% if he did. I assume a lot of people think the same way.

And yet I was ridiculed when I said that the next Democratic nominee won't be in the mold of Bernie Sanders (who got crushed in 2016, something many people like to forget)

People could very well want a nominee like Bernie Sanders, but just not Bernie Sanders himself.

[Maxwell]

Just so it doesn't get buried...note that Clinton is more popular than Sanders among Democrats.

I can believe that - She seemed to beat Sanders among Democrats, and he managed his victories on the backs of Dem-leaning Independents.

Is there any Democrat in the country where a majority of Democratic voters want them to run? I doubt anyone could crack 50%.

Fair enough, but I disagree with some posters who think that the former is a given. Also pretty telling that Clinton has a higher favorable rating among Democrats than Sanders, honestly.

If you subtract the superdelegates and every state in the South, Bernie might be able to pull it off!

Has to win 85 percent of the vote in California and flip 100 superdelegates. They were passing that meme all over. Lmao.

No the Democrats will nominate someone in the mold of Sanders, though maybe not Sanders himself.

Barack Obama.

If nothing else, the 22nd amendment should keep that under 50%.

The thing is, Sanders' ideological wing of the party will probably be as divided as the Clinton faction. Warren, Franken, Brown, Merkley, Murphy, and even Harris would all be able to rip some parts of the coalition that gave Sanders 43% of the primary last year. All of those people are younger than him, so I don't know what decision you'd make if he isn't the only candidate that occupies the space in the Democratic Party that suits you. I'm sure this is a dilemma a lot of people with similar views as you will face.

for the record I voted for Clinton in the primaries, and came to regret that decision as soon as she lost.

And I mean yeah they might take parts of Sanders support but other than Warren, I don't think a lot of them CAN channel a similar message in a similarly compelling way. I also think, and I'm sure a lot of more pro-Clinton areas of the site would agree, a lot of Sanders support also was borne out of Anti-Clintonism, and would shed to other candidates anyways.
