Not really. It means that person does not have the votes to win. Even if every supporter of X exclusively voted for X, plus a few supporters of Y, X would not win against Z. However, if every supporter of Y voted for Y, plus a few supporter of X, he would win against Z. So we should shift our support to Y because he has more supporters and is more likely to win against Z.
I think what you’re trying to say is that if every Biden voter just voted for Bernie, Bernie would have won. Which…sure, but you could say that about anyone.
It’s a difference between core voters (“I’m only excited about X”) vs swayable voters (“I like X but I think Y has a better chance of winning against Z”).
The point is that Biden has more core supporters than Bernie. Biden has a bigger, more reliable group of people who want to vote for him and only him.
