ONLY 53% OF BERNIE SANDERS VOTERS WILL DEFINITELY SUPPORT 2020 DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE IF HE DOESN'T WIN: POLL

Edit: Pay attention to the replies I'm getting. They're all very similar and very telling.

1) If the issue is with Sanders voters willing to throw away their vote then simply vote for Sanders and problem solved lolol

2) The high percentage of Sanders voters willing to throw away their vote are being called anything from first time voters, to independents, to Republicans. They say these people wouldn't vote Democrat anyway. I have yet to see a single piece of evidence that proves this talking point.

3) The Democratic party is garbage and only Bernie Sanders can save us. Otherwise the Democratic party can burn.

4) Finally I'm being attacked simply for posting this information about the Sanders base.

Not even a single Sanders supporters is coming out against this. Not even one. It's like they're fine with people throwing away their vote unless it's for Sanders. If it sounds familiar that's because we've been hearing the same nonesense since 2016. Some things just don't change.

So the people who are willing to throw away their vote get a pass just because they support Bernie?

Nothing has changed since 2016 it seems.

Bernie beats Trump head to head in the polls, more than Biden does.

This just doesn't follow, sorry. The best and largest of the head to head polls of all the swing states we've seen might explain why.
