I personally would prefer that you not forward to cisgender straight while males, since they're already in the majority.

Sure if you think Bernie could stop the Trump Train, but even if he won he would be murdered once he started his "Socialist Utopia" BS.

Can we put this guy into a REAL watchlist? Y'know, the kind where you can keep an eye on him and not worry about him moving farther than 10 feet in any direction?

A few points about that:
1. Bernie Sanders still has about a 55% approval rating. That's about 15-20% higher than either the Democrats, the Republicans, or Donald Trump. He even has about 1/3 of people who usually vote Republican saying they like him. In his home state, he has an 85% approval rating, which is almost unheard of.
2. Bernie never tried to hide his socialist streak. That doesn't seem to have changed his poll numbers that much. Possibly because when younger people hear the word "socialism" they think "Denmark", not "hide under your desks, the commies are going to nuke us!"
3. The actual policies Bernie is advocating for are not out of line from when the Democrats were actually popular. Compare Bernie's rhetoric to Franklin Roosevelt's rhetoric, and you'll see some common threads.
4. Trump trying to do the "anti-establishment" thing against Bernie Sanders would have backfired. Pictures like this [mintpressnews.com] with the Trumps and Clintons being part of George Carlin's "big club" would have made the rounds.
So unless you're saying someone would have assassinated him, I'm not at all convinced that his chances would have been bad.
