What is that based on? Buttigieg? Same question.

I think there (was) a viable case for Biden - but as it turns out he's not able to bring out the coalition he promised.

The conventional thinking among Democratic circles (which you seem to subscribe to) was that the way to win is to appeal heavily to center-right voters. That's outdated thinking. The recipe is to bring out young/new voters - and disaffected voters (which is what Obama was able to achieve).

Millennials now make up more of the electorate than Boomers - and bringing them out in massive numbers should be the focus instead of endlessly trying to court voters who are likely to vote "R" at the end of the day.

Clinton/Kaine was this moderate recipe you speak of -- it lost. We shouldn't be making our decisions based on who Clint Eastwood is voting for - we should be making it more based on who young, diverse segments of the electorate are voting for.
