In reply to the discussion: Another reason I think Bernie will have a tough row to hoe if he runs [View all]Autumn
(45,049 posts)40. And in your poll you got 10 people who supported him last time and will support him again.
You are dismissing the fact that some people, like me and others didn't take your poll. I didn't dismiss those 78 people as irrelevant, I said those 78 people didn't vote for him last time and won't vote for him again. Not a big drop in support there.

I wouldn't say DU is full of people who voted for Bernie in 2016 anymore. It was once, but not now.

Yes & he started with almost ZERO name recognition. Now he will start off with high poll numbers...

Glad Hillary didn't listen to your advice... and then she went on to beat the Dotard.

So 78 of the people on DU who wouldn't vote for him last time still won't vote for him again.

I didn't even see this poll, so I never even voted in it and I am sure there are others.

He's going to have to OPENLY and explicitly address the misogynist climate in his last campaign...

How he uses the Democratic party doesn't set well with me. I don't like what he does in Vermont.

Most online spaces, and especially DU, are populated by highly self-selected groups.
