      2+ years of hysterical media blathering has convinced a significant portion of the Dem electorate that the only political goal that matters is removing Trump at all costs. Rightly or wrongly (probably wrongly) Biden is seen as "electable" and that explains much of his support

      Andrew Cuomo obliterated Cynthia Nixon last fall because normie Dems turned out in huge numbers, which made the Twitter-centric narrative of that race look utterly foolish. Do not underestimate the potential for a similar dynamic to play out nationally

      Put another way: the political preferences of “normie Dems” are underrepresented in online media narratives, because they’re older and don’t use Twitter. These correlate with the type of people in the “removing Trump is all that matters” mindframe, who are inclined toward Biden

          Voter turnout in the 2016 primaries was relatively low (a harbinger of Hillary's weakness in November). All signs indicate that turnout for the 2020 primaries will be significantly higher, and we don't know exactly what that electorate will look like yet. Could be lots of normies

          You're entirely correct, and I don't think you'd disagree, but if Bernie could almost overcome Hillary in 2016, coming from little to no name recognition, he can surely defeat Uncle Joe without much trouble.

          Yes, this doesn't necessarily conflict with the view that Bernie is currently the strongest candidate

          And it seems both “normie dems” and their younger, more extreme counterparts don’t get it. They don’t have a platform or a solution to the problems they scream about daily. They will lose in 2020. NORMAL PEOPLE are sick of it! They’ve divided the country long enough!

          As a member of Democrats Anonymous (13 years clean and sober) let's just say the normie dems are less vocal because they have real lives and work for a living.

          Booker, Klobacher & Beto will probably be the Dem contenders. Biden is nostalgia. Old with serious past health issues. Old boy club baggage. Old failed ideas. His base is yesterday, not tomorrow.

          Joe will not and cannot do shit about radical climate change mitigation because of you know, donors. Then the vast majority look at their survival prospects, look at Joe, and say ...hard pass. You are thinking like it’s the freaking 20th C. That shitty political world is over...

          Time after time people say that but it still is the case that younger voters are less likely to be sure to make it to the polls than older voters are.
