Dem voters second guessing themselves about electability is a big dynamic. I actually think it's hurt Klobuchar & Booker more than Sanders & Warren. K & B are underperforming because the type of voter who worries about electability gravitate towards white men.https://twitter.com/daveweigel/status/1196089572695957505 …

The press is CONSTANTLY pushing the republican talking point that Dems can’t go too far left or the world with explode. Running to the center has not worked well for Dems. What if HRC had chosen someone for Dems to get excited about? It likely would have been enough.

That "I don't care about characteristic X but I think other people do" is also a classic pattern when people feel social reluctance to directly admit to a view that they themselves hold (cf Bradley Effect).

Fvck trump voters we don’t need their votes, we need to expand the electorate to include people who haven’t been voting because democrats have stopped caring about what matters to us

It’s weirdly hard to imagine a swath of rural R voters doing the opposite. Pocketing their own preferences to imagine what R some avocado toast-liking- D-leaning suburban professional - let alone some urban voter - might go for.
