Sen. Bernie Sanders engagement report
@SenSanders - 12M followers on X
Measured over 42 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on August 31, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 12K interactions against 12M followers, an engagement rate of 0.101%. Measured over 42 original posts, its engagement rate beats 85% of 3,739 tracked accounts of a similar size. Comparing inside a size band matters here: engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly just re-measure the follower count. Posts are seen about 384K times each, and 3.06% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.31% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.6 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 15:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 42 posts sampled, 19% carry an image or video. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 280K interactions, about 24x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Sen. Bernie Sanders's engagement rate beats 85% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,739 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 86% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 15:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon. Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability. It leaves our workers unprotected and our streets less safe. It's time for a change. I'm proud to support the Delivery Protection Act to crack down on exploitative subcontracting and build an economy that works for everyone.

31 out of 32 NFL owners are billionaires. 26 out of 30 NBA owners are billionaires. 26 out of 30 MLB owners are billionaires. Your tax dollars helped build their stadiums. But today, the average person canโt afford the price of a ticket to a sporting event. That must change.

Last year, Jeff Bezos sailed on his $500 million yacht to his $55 million wedding in Venice to give his wife a $5 million ring while his real tax rate was less than 1%. Under my 5% billionaire wealth tax, Mr. Bezos would owe $12.7 billion & still have $240 billion left over.

Dolly Parton was one of the great entertainers of our era. She was not only a talented musician & songwriter, but a lifelong philanthropist and advocate for literacy, education, LGBTQ+ rights, healthcare and disaster relief. Her music and humanity touched millions. She will be sorely missed.

Should Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, pay the same amount of taxes into Social Security as a fireman or nurse? Of course not. The answer isn't complicated. Let's lift the cap and make the wealthiest people in America pay their fair share to strengthen Social Security. https://t.co/AR2jBQLmVR

A new study confirms that Medicare for All would save 114,000 lives every year and reduce overall healthcare spending by more than $1 trillion annually. Do not tell me we cannot afford Medicare for All. What we cannot afford is a broken healthcare system based on greed.
