re: #37 Targetpractice

I was really speaking more to all the Berners who I used to listen to in 2016 who insisted that Bernie was guaranteed to win the nomination/election because not only were the internets positively ablaze with support, but the huge turnouts at his rallies demonstrated that voters were desperate to see a “real progressive” in the White House.

Which is really a backhanded slap towards MAGAts who are still lying to themselves that Trump’s dwindling rally crowds are really just a media conspiracy and there remains enormous public support for their golden calf.

There’s also the major difference between rally goers and the electorate. A huge rally, even a huge tour of rallies, is a drop in the bucket of voters that you need to get to win an election. And if the rally goers are just patting each other on the backs for being such superior individuals instead of reaching out to other voters to get them on board, it’s a total waste of time and resources.
