    You think a post saying Bernie would have won 2024 means that people think he should run in 2028?

    I’m not following…

      I’m saying Bernie supporters gonna Bernie. Hence “In before…”

      Bernie was no more capable of winning '24 than '28. Fans will still float the idea.

      I swear, it’s like the Ron Paul fanbase all over again.

        So your problem is the author?

        Why link the Lemmy post then with comments that agreed with what I said?

        Bernie was no more capable of winning '24 than '28

        The thing is, we’re all talking about people wanting Bernie to run in 2028.

        And for “proof” of that supposedly being popular…

        You linked an article about how he would have won in 2024, and you’re saying he couldn’t and can’t win 2028 either?

        I feel like we’re having two different conversations here

          I’m saying Bernie fans are going to be Bernie fans, and if you read my top comment the “in before” clearly means “this comment takes place before any Bernie fans say he should run in '28”.

          https://www.wikihow.com/Inb4-Meaning

          Supporting that statement is the link showing Bernie fans saying he would have won in '24.

            Give up. Your arguing with frothing at the mouth Bernie supporters who will down vote anything you say that could even be perceived as negative.

            FWIW, I heard him on NPR back in 2015 and had no idea who was speaking.

            “LOL. This idiot out hear speaking the truth. He’s going to get smeared. Who is this fool?”

            Inb4” (short for “in before”) is used to predict something that will be posted by another user.

            Right.

            And I said:

            Every onc and a while I’ll see a comment wanting him to run, but it usually only has one up vote, a shit ton of down votes, and comments from progressives explaining how Bernie shouldn’t run.

            And to prove me wrong…

            You linked a post where everyone was saying Bernie shouldn’t have won in 2028.

            I dunno man, maybe I blocked some accounts and aren’t seeing the same thing on that link as you.

            But it doesn’t seem like we’re going to work this one out.

      “A” post? I’ve seen the same dumbass post 84 times in the last 48 hours. It’s a lemmy thing I guess.
