5. Some Precedents Still Relate

When cynics declare that Sanders can't attract voters who flipped to tᴙump, I remind them that, in 2016, in important states (which Hillary lost in the primary and general) such as Wisconsin, Bernie had more young voters in the primary that Clinton and tᴙump combined.

I fully expect that precedent to remain relevant.

BONUS: The 2018 Blue Wave included members of The Squad, 3 of whom have endorsed Sanders. In Minnesota and Michigan, the Omar and Tlaib endorsements, respectively, should provide a nice bump, too.
