The Democratic establishment is wrong to think Bernie Sanders is too progressive to win a general election.

Dear John,
It’s Super Tuesday, and the establishment on both sides of the aisle continues to raise a four-alarm fire about Bernie’s electability and his chances against Trump.
They say “America would never elect a socialist” and “He’d never beat Trump in the general election.”
Yet America’s most successful and beloved government programs are social insurance, and in poll after poll, Bernie beats Trump by the widest margin of all candidates.
All of the pundits proclaiming that Bernie has no chance against Trump are using a political framework that may have been correct decades ago when America still had a growing middle class, but is obsolete today, as more and more Americans feel politically disempowered and economically insecure.
The real political divide today isn’t left versus right. It’s democracy versus oligarchy.
The best way for Democrats to defeat Trump’s fake anti-establishment populism is with the real thing, coupled with an agenda of systemic reform. This is what Bernie Sanders offers, and it’s what the polls are reflecting.
For the rest of our responses to the most common misconceptions about Bernie’s electability, watch our new video below — and share it with the Bernie skeptics in your life on this pivotal day for our democracy. ([link removed])

The establishment is wrong to think Sanders is too progressive to win a general election.
From electability to effectiveness and uniting the party, Bernie rises above the skeptics’ expectations — and is likely the Democrats’ best shot at taking back the White House.
Thanks for watching,
Robert Reich

P.S. On this Super Tuesday, it's also important to remember that there are a number of crucial Senate races up for grabs across the country. Mitch McConnell and some of his Do-Nothing Republican lackeys in the Senate are up for re-election this November. Make sure to watch our new video on how they've turned the Senate into a partisan lapdog and ignored the voices of their constituents to serve at the will of Donald Trump. ([link removed])
