Jesus Christ only had like 12 supporters and he kept turning the other cheek while the establishment power structure beat and tortured him.

You could say that worked for his brand

Does everyone remember how Obama lost reelection after he went on his great American apology tour where he bowed to every Muslim leader and chinaman?

Karl Rove remembers he's just waiting for his data sets to finish loading

Back in those days, 12 followers was a lot. Follower inflation makes that about 5.36 million in 2015 twitter terms.

Remember Ron Paul? That's how well Bernie will be remembered in 7-8 years.

Enjoy.

Agreed with his crazy ideas of a "living wage," regulation of wall street, focus on the environment, 30% national support with in the Democratic Party. The similarities just keep piling up!

The Ron Paul meme is "catching on, I'm telling you."

It's the biggest straw they have left to grasp at and still feel justified in their circlejerk about how they made the mature choice and settled for the inevitable.

My post does not compare Bernie to Ron Paul as a candidate, I'm comparing how well they will be remembered :ssh: I will, however, compare Ron Paul supporters to Bernie Sanders supporters.

You're all incredibly naive about your chances, proclaim the need for a political revolution :evil:, feel as if you are under attack by the "establishment"/LAMESTREAMMEDIA, loudly proclaim your support for your candidate wherever comments are enabled, and then mistake the echoes coming back at you for widespread support for your candidate. You're all incredibly driven to be active for your candidate's campaign, yet by doing so are so hopelessly drowned in the Sanders bubble that you are incapable of comprehending why anybody wouldn't vote for him.

edit: tl;dr he's a great-seeming guy with awful, awful staff and awful fans

This is a question I've not seen answered. Most people in the forum "like Bernie". But are quick to add "he won't win."

i knew a female lawyer who worked on her campaign in '08 and was pretty enthusiastic, that's probably a good demographic for her

There are plenty of people who are enthusiastic supporters of Hillary, but the average level of enthusiasm for Hillary supporters is less than that of the average Sanders supporter.

This poll isn't tagged - where is it from? Just wondering.



Also, an important thing to note is that favorability is not the same thing as enthusiasm.

centrists aren't usually as enthusiastic as the more extreme people, that's probably not a surprise to anybody. every once in a while it gets them in trouble, just take a look at the other primary. they usually win in the end, though

See this is why people give sanders' rabid fans poo poo, this constant, unstopping, narrative that the ONLY reason people don't like him is either not knowing about him (still somehow people were saying the data stealing scandal was 'the first time' people were hearing of him) or they know he's just a good, honest, good, man who's so good, and they're just to jaded or bitter to see it. Sanders cannot fail, he can only be failed.

He probably is going to fail, but they both say they like him and that his bad rhetoric makes him hopeless.
