Yeah possibly. I can't bring myself to take Bernie as a serious representative of anything though. His appeal seems to be the ideologically active set rather than the merely resentful superset.

The thing is though, if he wins the primary (I’d assign him maybe a ~10% chance of getting through) I think he represents the superset to which you’ve been pointing •very well•
Not just in US saltwater coast enclaves wracked by inequality...

He may be too compromised by 2016 failure and the current extra strong alliance with the Big Tent woke left aka AOC.

Tough for the urban precariat to swing the election. Mostly blue states, not a lot in the rust belt, and almost by definition the class is underrepresented in electoral college. It’s not a group that can pull it off without a coalition.
