(22,917 posts)I am not in denial over whether or not Buttigieg surged. He did. So did Sanders. Once upon a time so did Harris and Warren. It is always an open question if and when a surge stalls out.

(32 posts)While many posters here talk of Sanders supposed surging in New Hampshire to the upper 20% in the 2020 polls, this represents a sharp decline from the more than 60% of NH Democrats that voted for him in the 2016 primary election. Dont we need to ask ourselves how many more 2016 Bernie supporters will abandon him in the 2020 primaries and general election to come?

(22,917 posts)I think what you point to is better explained as follows:
One day a guy walks into an ice cream shoppe and asks; "what flavors do have for sale"? The clerk responds, "Chocolate, Vanilla, and Burnt Pickle" So the guy buys a chocolate cone and asks, "What are other people buying?" The clerk responds "Very few people are buying Burnt Pickle, and it's pretty much half and half between Vanilla and Chocolate for the rest".
A month later that same guy walks into the same ice cream shoppe and asks, "What flavors do you have for sale this time?" The clerk responds "We have a lot more choices this time. We still have Chocolate and Vanilla, but also Espresso, and Strawberry. and Mint Chocolate Chip, and Butter Pecan, and Rocky Road, and also Bitter Mushroom." "That is a lot more choices" the customer says, "but I think I'll have Chocolate again." He then adds, "I'm curious though about what other people are buying". The clerk responds "Well, Chocolate and Vanilla are still far and away our best sellers, probably half or more of our customers are choosing one of those. It's pretty much neck and neck between Chocolate and Vanilla, with the rest of our customers selecting one of the other flavors that we now have available as their first choice."
"Gee that's too bad" says the guy, "Chocolate is only half as popular now as it was the last time that I shopped here."

(32,640 posts)Why? Is it awkward?
It has everything to do with your claim about Sanders' not appealing to POC is a "false media narrative."
Is that clearer?
You're welcome.
Speaking of 'aggressive,' your posts are not the definition of respectful discourse.
