The centrist Dems always blame those further left, not themselves. They did it in 2016 and this year too.
well, unless there is an big untapped electorate even further left, that would make a lot of sense actually, wouldn't it?
You have to do that research yourself, that isn't a question answered within HN's character limit. But Bernie's popularity along the youth probably was not just some trend, to help you start.
we literally just had a referendum on that. moving further left from 2016-2020-2024 lost voters. how pissed off do people have to be to have that result? that implies, very strongly, to me that there is a huge segment in the center-left to center-right that is really irritated right now. not bernie's group for sure. although he seems more center compared to the "squad". you should thank them for that.
> You have to do that research yourself

> that isn't a question answered within HN's character limit

If you don't know, then these claims are fabrications.
you know, the existence of which just changed the course of the latest election...

"a few days before the announcement went badly, however. Kennedy gave an "incoherent and repetitive"[9] answer to the question of why he was running, and the polls, which showed him leading Carter by 58–25 in August now had him ahead 49–39."
Who knows how this could have gone had that interview not bombed his ratings.
