Hillary was a centrist. On policy she was very similar to Joe Biden. Nominating a centrist like Biden would be trying the same thing as in '16, but hoping it works this time because he's a man. It might lol. But I'd much rather see someone run against Trump with actual policies like Medicare for All, tuition free public college, anti-corruption policy, Green New Deal. And to be clear, you listed four "nut-job" policies:

70 percent income tax: AOC suggested a 70% tax rate on earnings above $10m. I want that. Warren is campaigning on a 2% wealth tax on wealth over $50m. I like that too. No one wants to tax anybody in the 99% at 70%.

Voting Rights for Incarcerated Felons: This is good

Abortion as Birth Control at any time for any reason: Show me who has a plan for this (nobody)

No Borders or Immigration Policy: Show me who is saying this (nobody in elected office)

Also, the alt-left isn't shooting up schools and mosques and churches. To look at people who are fighting toward a decent standard of living for everyone as "just as dangerous as" people who fear a White Genocide and thus want to establish a white ethno-state is evidence of deep moral rot.

It's about winning the election, not what far left policies you want to see. When I was a kid, the dems put up a candidate against Nixon who was their liberal, far left ideal. Nixon won in an epic landslide.

Bingo! This man gets it.

Look what happened last fall in the 6th Congressional District, which includes Kalamazoo. The Dems nominated an alt-left absolutist, Matt Longjohn, as opposed to a centrist, George Franklin (a former WMU board member and Kelloggs VP), and proceeded to get beat in the general election - in a v-e-r-y good Democrat year - by Republican Fred Upton. Franklin could have won. Longjohn had no chance from the start. Too extreme. Dems blew a golden opportunity.

Gotta win.
