generally speaking? Because he's running a campaign that's easy to misconstrue against a huge Known Brand figure every time.

I don't understand why people act like it's some huge unexpected thing for the incumbent or other super-public figure to win the primary. Bernie could run on whatever massively-popular platform he wants and he'd still lose when up against hillary or biden because the average person goes "hey I know that name"

people keep trying to play that up as some kind of policy thing when it's really not that deep. That's also why I'm not particularly concerned with this year's election despite what's at stake - because I am reasonably convinced the general public will simply vote for the guy we already have.

There is admittedly even odds that they'll vote for agent orange for the same reasons, but then again a lot of the folks who did last time around died. So.
