    Michael Tracey Retweeted Nate Silver

    This is true, I'm sorry to say. Bernie got lots of support in 2016 from rural whites, for example, who are generally not "ideologically left" in the Twitter activist sensehttps://twitter.com/NateSilver538/status/1125762535301570560 …

    Michael Tracey added,

    Nate SilverVerified account @NateSilver538
    The big mistake everyone made was to overestimate what share of Bernie's vote in 2016 (43%) reflected people on the left rather than some combination of i) the left, ii) the #NeverHillary vote, and iii) people behind him for personality, identity or other nonideological reasons.

        What’s left out here is policy. Rural white support was b/c of policy, like fair trade, jobs, and healthcare.

        I've always thought it was a good thing that Bernie brings in voters other than voters on the left. His ability to bring in independent and even Republican voters is why he would be a stronger candidate than Clinton was, and possibly stronger than Biden.

        Shouldn't be sorry to say, tho. In a real sense, its healthy to have people pulled between two parties.

        for all the times people talk about 'behind Bernie because of his personality', how many people were in the cult of identity or personality of Hillary despite her record, statements, history, policy? The convo never goes both ways. Its always Bernies taxes, his this, his that.

        Identity politics are sadly the only way to win. I’m well aware of where his non-leftist comes from.

        The left and right have a dangerous Twitter bubble. And everyone likes to play up to them.

        Bernie's a principled guy. He's responding to this by talking a lot about agrobusiness monopoly, not bashing mexicans.

        Don't forget the combination of populism with a convenient "other" threat. So jobs wasn't simply about policy, but a policy to beat those Chinese. Protecting the border was about law and order and mexicans taking our jobs. Foreign policy was wars to help Arabs while you're broke.
