So now you think every Bernie supporter was a Democrat before 2016?
The connective tissue from Trump to Sanders is something akin to populism — the ruling class sucks — and that rhetoric plays well among a certain class of people who don’t feel the government works for them,” said Joshua Dyck, a political science professor at the University of Massachusetts Lowell.
“The politics of anti-elite grievance is not just popular in the United States and it’s not just popular on the right,” he said. “It is the story of politics right now.”
You’re doing a great job of illustrating how progressive policy is popular with voters regardless of party tho, so by all means keep going…
Are you just doing that thing where people assume an article supports them but didn’t take the time to read it?
Speaking of, here’s the link in case you delete it:
Just keep on making assumptions about me. So far you’ve been wrong every single time lol.
I read both the articles before I sent them. I never delete comments or posts. I’m not a Republican. You got any other shit takes you wanna make about me?
I don’t think you even understand what argument you have been trying to make since the start. YOU came into the thread saying something I said was bullshit.
I sent you proof it wasn’t two different times and you decided to just change what the argument was from the start.
Your first comment in this thread was calling into question my claim that ex Bernie supporters voted for Trump and AOC.
I sent you two different articles talking out the topic with data that backs up what I said that those people DO exist despite the left being largely in denial about it.
I 100% understand where you got your bad opinion from now…
There’s just no logic in the steps between those two articles and what you’re saying they mean.
You had an idea in your head, and you found a few kernals of truth. Then you played connect the dots and that’s where the confusion happened.
It’s conspiracy theory level thinking. You started with the results you wanted, found a couple things that were real, and then twisted it to get to your predetermined result.
Like, no one online is going to break you out of this line of thinking. If social media comments could break it, trump wouldn’t be president right now. I hope you have friends and family that can help.
Good fucking lord the mental gymnastics on this guy are something to behold.
I didn’t do any of the things you’ve made up in your little fantasy there. I personally know several people who went down that exact Bernie -> Trump/AOC route. I know they aren’t the only people who went down that same path.
The whole point of my original comment was that people like you will do anything except admit that y’all lost some voters in this one weird specific path.
Like the other guy said. Denial of the strangest breed.

AOC was surprised and when she tried to talk to people to understand why they would vote for her and Trump the left threw a fit and yelled at her.
Y’all are in deep denial about this shit apparently.
Oh ok…
That’s saying more people voted her and trump in 2024 than voted her and trump in 2020.
Not what you claimed it said.
That number includes people who voted Republican up and down ballot in 2020 just as much as it includes people who voted D for both in 2020.

Well, do you understand them now?
Because it doesn’t really seem like it’s sunk in…

Hell there’s a fuckin wiki article talking about the Bernie—>Trump voters for the 2016 and 2020 elections: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanders–Trump_voters
I don’t know what your malfunction is, but I think I’m all good on explaining the same thing to you over and over.
Have a good day.
