...i.e. since Warren dropped out. Regardless, I just scanned the OPs of the past 48 hours. Plenty of anti-Sanders posts. Not a single anti-Biden post.*

I've done this kind of analysis a couple of times before. Every time, anti-Sanders posts significantly outnumber anti-Biden posts. Check for yourself.

* ETA: ...except the one that you posted about! I had missed that one because it was in the Sanders group (I only checked the Dem Primary group), and I probably would have missed it anyway because it did not mention Biden in the subject line, and I was only analyzing negative subject lines.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
