It is time for the mainstream media to stop claiming that Hillary Clinton is the “strongest Democrat” to face the Republicans in November.
She never was. That was always corporate spin. But after this poll was released by Bloomberg Politics, it should be clear Bernie Sanders is equally capable of taking on Donald Trump this November.
According to this match up, he would knock Trump out of the park by a staggering 24 points.
Spectating this primary contest from across the Atlantic in the United Kingdom, it would be horrifying to see the American people have to choose between the two least favourable and least trustworthy candidates in the entire process. Stop punishing yourselves. You deserve better.

Had a couple of comments asking why I have not commented that Hillary ‘warhawk’ Clinton also beats Trump by a landslide in the same poll (which I have now included a link to in the diary — so you can see for yourselves!)
It’s because I do not have the slightest urge to praise her. I’ll show her some respect when she shows respect to the victims of genocide in Palestine, and the victims of the countless massacres she blindly endorsed in Iraq and Afghanistan. Instead, she continues to persist with another intervention in Syria and she continues to pander to Benjamin Netanyahu.
Another cookie cutter imperialist.
