On the other hand, I feel like I only ever see people arguing this on the Internet using examples of other people from the Internet. Every liberal person I know IRL loves Bernie, and many of them even say " But I understand that the party can't run him because a lot of democratic voters think he's too far to the left". Like, are these voters in the room with us right now?
There's a serious flaw in using your personal connections to gauge an entire electorate. That said, those acknowledging him not being able to win are in the same boat with me. I'd love for him to be president.
I just think it's funny that Bernie Bro "progressives" helped Trump come to power despite Bernie directly and publicly telling them to vote for Harris. All of a sudden they don't care what he says. Bernie understands that any improvement is better than drastic regression. Wish I could say the same for about 10 million extremely stupid people.
You're right, and I really appreciate you bringing up the statistical angle there. I am a bit of a stats nerd and indeed am aware of the multiple biases present in that sample of insufficient size. However, since the Internet is so full of bots and I don't really trust the news on this, I don't have much more to go on. It sucks, but polls seem like straight up misinformation at this point to me
