Sanders is clearly coming back

Sanders is clearly coming back

A straw poll for what's basically a collection of progressive activists has Sanders with less than a third support? That's not a good sign.

[Starbucks Union Thug HokeyPuck]

DFA is easily Dem mainstream you clueless clowns.

[brucejoel99]

Hey, remember that time he won 87.9% of the vote in the DFA straw poll? I remember.

This literally means less than nothing.

Hey, remember that time he won 87.9% of the vote in the DFA straw poll? I remember.

This literally means less than nothing.

Was that for 2016 or 2020?

[Eraserhead]

Kind of surprised he's still leading Warren at all in what I'm sure was basically a poll of highly educated, well-off white liberals.

Hey, remember that time he won 87.9% of the vote in the DFA straw poll? I remember.

This literally means less than nothing.

Was that for 2016 or 2020?

2016 but regardless, to have still lost nearly 65% of your total "progressive" support in just 3 years is astounding.

It's hardly astounding when one of the other people running is another big name, highly qualified progressive.

Even if the entirety of Warren's 26% voted for Bernie in the 2016 poll, that still means there's an additional 30% that voted for Bernie in 2016 but transitioned to mostly-less progressive candidates this time around.
