Bernie Sanders' top 10 neighbors by audience shape span a narrow band — from 0.9743 down to 0.9349 — with no single entity pulling decisively ahead. Similarity here measures how closely two entities' audiences resemble each other in composition; the compressed range across all ten positions is the defining structural fact.
Three of the ten neighbors are fellow politicians: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez at 0.97, Rep. Ilhan Omar at 0.96, and Rashida Tlaib at 0.95. But the remaining seven positions belong to other kinds entirely. Cenk Uygur (0.95, Journalists) and Trevor Noah (0.95, Comedians) sit just below the politician cluster. Below them: Justice Democrats (0.94, Political Groups), Amnesty International USA (0.94, Non-Profit), Al Jazeera English (0.94, TV Channels), NowThis News (0.94, News Publishers), and Democracy Now! (0.93, Podcasts and Radio). The pattern across those seven is consistent: progressive media outlets and advocacy organizations, not politicians. The audience shape Sanders shares with a comedian or a podcast is nearly as strong as the one he shares with a congressional colleague.
The flat distribution suggests an audience that is broadly defined by a political-media ecosystem rather than by loyalty to any single figure or format within it.
