I don't underestimate Bernie's message. I don't dislike Bernie. I think that his message is very, very appealing to those who vote for him. And a lot of people have voted for him over the last two presidential primaries.
For ten years now, several people in this forum have insisted that Bernie's message is very appealing to people who voted for someone else, whether that someone else was HRC, Biden, Trump, or whoever. In support of that proposition, they inevitably cite their favorite opinion polls and ignore election results.
At some point, you have to at least consider the possibility that people are voting for the policies they prefer.
