    If "grifty left influencers" are so powerful shaping the opinion of young people -- leading to 50 point shift in Biden's net popularity -- then shouldn't elected Dems try to win them into the coalition, as they do other important constituencies.https://twitter.com/ne0liberal/status/1471653682848710660 …

    Jeet Heer added,

    Neoliberal  🌐 🇺🇦 @ne0liberal
    To be clear, the issue is more grifty left influencers than left electeds. The narrative these types push for online clout - Dems are backstabbers, do-nothing, etc - matters. Young voters are 50 points down on Biden because they think he 'does nothing'. https://twitter.com/ne0liberal/status/1471651708333969411 …

        No, because they want policies that would hurt downers, the only constituency leadership actually cares about.

        That axes that account wants to grind make more sense when you realize it’s a project of the Progressive Policy Institute, which is funded in part by Exxon-Mobil and the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America.

        More importantly, surely those same influencers could’ve grifted Bernie into office instead?

        They do but brand of those influencers is to say Dems aren't good enough anyway. It's a play for less engaged people and more cynical because they don't get how system works and how elected move the ball forward. It's a symbol of purity amongst some left influencers to hate dems

        You then end up losing some other section of support, and then you realise you are trapped in a FPTP system where you are screwed either way and you cry.
