The crowds that come to Bernie rallies have little overlap with the crowds that come to mainstream Democrat functions. KHive and co wouldn’t be caught dead at a Bernie rally.

The reason why they get such high numbers is because they’re (minimally) tapping into an underrepresented section of the political spectrum, where there are lots of people who would otherwise be tuned out, flocking to their only representation in this political hellhole.

They are naive and liberal but these are the anti-war citizens coming out of the woodwork.
