    He’d have come out of Super Tuesday with fewer votes than Biden. That’s different from ‘lost’.

    And losing by less is not the start of a rally. He’d still have lost the primary.

    Warren voters had Bernie as their second choice at a rate of almost 2-1, but I don’t expect facts to matter much to you, clearly.

    Fucking lol. https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/theres-no-guarantee-warren-voters-will-line-up-behind-sanders/

    “Morning Consult, for instance, found that 43 percent of Warren supporters would opt for Sanders as their second choice, while 36 percent would choose Biden. And a recent Ipsos/Reuters poll found that Warren supporters’ second-choice loyalties were evenly split, with 47 percent picking Sanders, and 46 percent backing Biden.”

    Facts indeed.

    And even the Berner-truth view of Warren supporters is still not 100% and 100% is still not Bernie beating Biden. A 2-1 margin means Bernie gains a net of 1/3 of her support, which was like 10-15%. +5% doesn’t swing the election Bernie’s way. He just loses by less, which is still losing, not “early success”. As each election day came and went Bernie dropped further behind.

    Look, if you want to simp for people who think nothing should fundamentally change, that’s your choice.

    And there’s the Berner charm we all know and love.
