No, damn it! Quit being willfully obtuse. Why can’t you acknowledge the fact that damn near a third of the country is so disaffected by both parties’ refusal to meet their needs that they’d given up on voting at all? That’s the demographic – people clamoring for change, any change, because the status quo has failed then – that fake-populist Trump appealed to for his margin of victory, and that real-populist Bernie could’ve appealed to even better.
No, it’s because Trump-leaning voters are very blatantly populist and anti-status-quo and Bernie would deliver that more genuinely than Trump.
Ah yes, defeat Trump by appealing to conservatives. A time-tested strategy.

Bernie can’t bring out people who don’t vote. If he could, he would have won a lot more votes in Vermont.
