      I would welcome @heerjeet’s view of this data as he’s been assuming for two years that these voters were to the left of Clinton voters and her liberal, not hard left views, demobilized them. Seems pretty off.

      Argument is not that Clinton should have run as hard left but that the focus her campaign gave to winning suburban GOP voters demobilized some traditional Democratic. I think that's perfectly consisted with data @mattyglesias (esp. since he thinks Sanders is "electable moderate"

      Your argument is that she demobilized base voters by wooing suburbanites. But the demobilized Obama voters were more moderate than her positions. How is that data consistent with your argument at all?

      More liberal voters voted for her. So your argument she sacrificed liberal voters by wooing moderates does not seem accurate at all.

      Those more liberal voters were ones with shaper partisan commitments who would have come out for any Dem. The voters we're talking about are younger, less tied to institutional Democratic party & distrustful of Clinton's triangulation. See here: https://twitter.com/jonfavs/status/1152368119588876288 …

          Having contempt for winnable voters is not, to my mind, good politics. Trying to figure out how to win them is the better route.

          After 25 years of relentless attacks, Clinton was wounded and many of these same voters heard the same rhetoric about her from Bernie Sanders. Nothing was going to change that for the general.

          How many votes are we talking about here? What is the margin these people would have brought over and is it enough to countermand the voter suppression, gerrymandering, media malfeasance, Russian interference, Comey manipulation, hard left purity and Never Trump idiocy?

          Ok. This is just not addressing the data. But I guess that’s an answer in and of itself.

          Dude you’re literally ignoring data that suggests the opposite of this conclusion and as evidence merely giving an opinion (one which contradicts the hard data).

          No. The “didn’t vote” “liberals” didn’t think racism and misogyny were a big deal because they felt confident it wouldn’t actually effect them. They were and are assholes.
