Sure, that's possible. But like we've discussed before, we know President Obama called the other candidates and told them to rally around Biden, and they did.

And as I'VE said in the past: Biden LOST the first three primaries of 2020. Yet despite having a massive field of moderate candidates compared to just Bernie and Warren on the progressive end of the spectrum...Bernie still struggled to solidly beat PETE BUTTIGIEG. Not Joe Biden, who you could argue was the "safe" candidate that party insiders thought was most likely to stand a chance in the general election. No, Mayor Pete gave Bernie a run for his money in a primary that, let's be honest here...was Bernie's to lose.

So they checked out. And they continue to check out because there's no trust! While polling shows an event spli between party identification, the largest group of nonvoters tend to be an ethnically diverse group of the poorest people, that should be Democrats bread and butter.

There's no trust from the party either. When they consistently try to push to the left (not as much as progressives want, but more than they give credit for), and are shot down by voters during actual elections, it's just going to reinforce that progressive issues are not popular and the voting public doesn't ACTUALLY want them, no matter how much positive polling there is.
Touch fuzzy. Get fuzzier.
