A simple, but thus far unremarked-upon truth about Bernie Sanders' performance in the NH primary last night: it proves that a huge amount of his primary performance in 2016 wasn't due to true ideological support, but merely as a place to park a protest vote against Hillary.

Yes, the nature of Democratic "moderation" has undergone a profound change that can be summed up as a transition from "Republican lite" to "Progressive Lite." People underestimate the impact of the moral repulsiveness of Trump and white conservatives on U.S. politics and society.

Progressive lite is better than republican lite.. I will take the shift.,

In 2016 Bernie coalition was basically "more liberal" white voters + people who didn't like Hillary. Now his coalition is progressives + working class. If Hillary was in this election, she would be doing somewhere between Biden & Klob.

What?!? Bloomberg to the left of Clinton's 2016 campaign? Her 2008 campaign, sure, but the 2016 campaign, at least in terms of published policy proposals, was to the left even of Obama's 2008 campaign. Biden 2020 isn't anywhere other than "I was with Obama."

With the exception of Warren, the non-Sanders field is all way closer to Clinton ideologically than they are to Sanders.

Though that is true, tweet still is correct. All of the candidates even Bloomberg running on to the left of Hillary, albeit very close. I mean all the conservative/moderate vote is kinda unavailable to Bernie or (Warren for that matter).

I don't think people's objection to Hillary was her place on the ideological spectrum...
-
Correct. They mainly just didn’t like her face.
