(Woman over 30 here) I caucused for Bernie in Nevada in 2020, and he won the state my dude. He also won Iowa, New Hampshire, California, and Colorado before dropping out. Where do you think our love for Bernie is "over inflated"? He had support amongst the people.

If by "the people", you mean "a minority of voters in the democratic primaries, which historically are a lot more amicable to progressive candidates such as Bernie than the general electorate" then sure.

Bernie dropped out because there was no realistic way for him to win the primaries. He'd get bodied in the general election.
