The polls at the time showed him doing better against Trump than Hillary, given that he would bring out the progressive vote along with the usual dem vote. Which is why him getting railroaded out by the “her turn” group was such a blatant travesty. And why I blame them for Trump getting elected.
People forget that there was a sizable “Bernie or Trump” crowd as well. Essentially people that just want ANY change from the permanent status-quo we’ve had for the last 30-40 years.
I mean looking at how elections have gone in the US, the undecided between the two parties often decide the elections. It’s a fairly important group to cater to if you’re all about winning.
Just getting the people who would vote to the polls would be a better use of time and energy IMO. Didn’t vote is still the winning candidate in most elections.

Could’ve lost the middle ground undecideds.
Oh well. They get constant catering by dems and they’re really just Republicans anyway considering how far to the right “the middle” is around here.

… the same progressive votes that got him to be the nominee? Wait… He won my state. Doesn’t mean shit if others weren’t on board.
I think the UN should get called in to monitor the Den voting process. They might be slightly worse than Nigeria.
