At a national level? It worked out a hell of a lot better than the congress we have now. Is running nothing but self-declared socialists going to work out better for giving Democrats a majority?



They were gonna get voted out anyways, so they could have gone out voting for reform-oriented legislation. Not BLOCKADING said legislation for months.

They, Lieberman, that Nebraska cocksucker(or Kansas, or whatever), and myriad others are the reason Obamacare barley passed. And passed with a bunch of compromises.

During the BRIEF time the Dems could pass legislation, even righty Democrats like Jon Chait were exasperated that Lieberman was turning Obamacare into a debacle. Lieberman being a pol Chait fucking CHAMPIONED when he was primaried in 2006. And that is why I have largely given up caring about politics for the time being.

As for as being a self-declared socialist, no, I don't think future candidates need to do that. The sad truth is Bernie was the only one crazy enough to take on the sure-thing establishment candidate. I'm okay with a lot of his proposals, but I knew he was going to lose the primary, so I voted for him as a useless act of defiance against Clinton.
