      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.

          In Jeet's world, it's as always Hillary's fault. We get it by now. If James Comey keeps his mouth shut (twice), we're not discussing this.

          Refusing to acknowledge some of the issues related to voters in the three swing states of PA, MI & WI isn't "good politics" or even good punditry. It's perpetuating a false narrative that elides documented voter suppression as well as the complication of 3rd party votes.

          Also showing contempt (and stupidity) by giving paid speeches to Wall street when she had every intention of a future presidential run.
