Downvotes from the people who don't know Bernie lost in both the 2016 and 2020 primaries because not enough people voted for him.
You are correct. As much as I like the guy, he is not as popular in reality as he is on the internet. But you can sure hurt a lot of feelings by pointing out that reality on the internet.
I hold nothing against Bernie. He does have real integrity.
The problem I have is the portion of his supporters that are essentially left-wing Trumpers. They don't care about the truth. They don't care about what's best for the country. They make lies about electoral cheating.
The only difference is that Trump is a fucking scumbag and Bernie has integrity. I say that because each time he lost in the primaries, he publicly endorsed the Democratic candidate. Because he's not a fucking moron and knew how destructive Trump presidencies would be. I find it interesting that THIS is the one issue Bernie Bros disagree on with Bernie. All of a sudden, he should NOT be listened to? He has also never claimed to have been cheated.
