Hillary 2016-Bernie 2020 primary voters

[sofaboi]

Who were they?

It mostly seems like Latinos.

[H. Ross Peron]

Mix of middle-aged Latinos and a certain type of woke urban progressive who backed Hillary bc she was a female candidate backed by nonwhites but went for Bernie when seeing both he and Biden were old white men (though most of this type backed Warren instead-Sady Doyle, Imani Gandy similar assholes are good examples)

Yep, some metropolitan young women too. Hillary performed better in metropolitan areas but Bernie won the urban cores of many areas in 2020.

This is actually two of my friends lmao. They just liked Hillary more in 2016, but seemed to have moved a bit more left in 2020 and preferred Sanders over the others.

Also, a few I know who like that Bernie was more woke in his rhetoric this time. The types that were actually sincere in their criticism of Bernie's handling of race and willing to actually give him credit for evolving. I personally always found the criticisms to be disingenuous but can at least respect them for consistency.

Someone who’d be called a Social Democrat in Europe, but felt a loyalty to Clinton for her years of service/felt Sanders was unelectable. But Clinton’s defeat made them re-evaluate Sanders electability. Then when given a choice between Sanders/Biden felt Sanders was the closest to their belief’s. I can imagine there being a few of these.

I actually started off kind of like that even though I couldn't vote in 2016 and Virginia stupid witness absentee requirement stopped me from in 2020. Before going to Warren

I didn’t vote in the 2016 primary, although I probably would have voted for Hillary based on my beliefs back then. I grew up under the Bill Clinton/George W. Bush administrations, and had a favorable view of the former yet a negative view of the latter. For a long time, I thought the Bill Clinton model of governance was the way to go, until I re-evaluated my thoughts on this issue in the aftermath of the 2016 election and concluded that this model is obsolete in a populist atmosphere. That is why I chose Sanders in the 2020 primary (although my vote was cast well after the outcome was pretty much decided).

These voters are predominantly made up of Hispanics and young urbanites (these groups aren't necessarily mutually exclusive, too). Sanders' increased support in cities is significant and something that gets widely overlooked. He made gains both in terms of the raw vote and narrowing the margin in several cities when the primary was still competitive.

[Hope For A New Era]

I almost was this. I didn't become a fan of Sanders until after the 2016 primaries ended.

I couldn't have voted in 2016 regardless (too young), but if I could have voted, I would have been this.
