It's fun to say things like "Bernie is a moderate which is why he can win" because it's very trolly, but it's also the correct take. It's very easy to explain in terms of a 2-dimensional political compass.

A few things worth emphasizing: - Your typical marginal/swing voter (y'know, the only people who matter) probably views politics more like the second image than the first image. - It's possible for "Bernie would have won" to be true in a median voter theory framework.

do you mean bernie is actually more moderate on social issues or is perceived to be more moderate? I get that he’a not making idpol the center of his campaign but the differences in actual position are not as stark as the diff in the graph

Hillary once said that breaking up the banks won't solve systemic racism! It's a pretty big difference in their rhetoric that causes a big difference in perception, which is all that matters.

Hillary is firmly in the upper right quadrant. She is a conservative by any non-US standards, the US just has an extraordinarily right-wing political system
