Bernie or Bust

[coolface1572]

Which candidate would alienate Bernie supporters the most?

[Mr. Smith]

Delaney overall, Biden of those with actual weight.

[SN2903]

Biden

[SaneDemocrat]

Buttigieg

[McGarnagle]

Out of all of them, Delaney, but out of the ones who actually have a chance at the nomination, Biden.

Medicare for All and student debt relief are two of the main platforms for Bernie supporters. Biden is a candidate who has shown disdain for both.

I'll vote for Biden if he gets the nomination, but I'd have to hold my nose while voting for him. At least then, people can't blame me for his loss if he falls short, and I can say, "Well, maybe you shouldn't have picked an uninspiring candidate who voted for the Iraq War - after all, it didn't work the last two times."

Voted for Steyer. His policies are pretty liberal, but a billionaire who bought his way into the debates seems like the antithesis of socialism.

Once he was the nominee and kept talking about wealth taxes on billionaires, they'd come around. Part of the left-wing hatred of Steyer is that they don't know anything about him other than that he's a billionaire.

[Lambsbread]

well considering Steyer and Delaney have no chance of winning the nomination, voted Biden. Another round of "The DNC favorite winning the nomination despite obvious concerns about their candidacy" wont go over well

Delaney overall.  He's the quintessential "OK Boomer" candidate.

Out of those who have a chance, though, definitely Biden.

Well I'm not a Sanders supporter so I can't speak for them, but personally I think it would set a terrible precedent to elect two billionaires in a row. I don't want presidential politics to become the exclusive playground of billionaires.

I voted Biden because I completely forgot that John Delaney exists. Yeah, he's probably a better answer. There were some Bernie or Bust people I recall, in 2016, who said "if we can't have Bernie, why couldn't we have Biden?"
