    He hasnt been able to win outside of Vermont. Even when he lost the primaries he it was because he didn’t have enough votes.

          It’s also interesting that the argument here is that the only way Bernie would have had a chance as if there were enough candidates to dilute the vote. But in a straight up head to head contest he couldn’t win. Which is what happened. When the choice came down between Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden the latter got more votes. That’s not a pro Bernie argument. Yet we see it all the time.

            wtf are you on about. It was never bernie vs joe. it was bernie vs warren vs joe. literally all the candidates joe adjacent dropped out for cabinet positions and endorsed him. then the bernie / warren votes were split.
