Haley Stevens trumpeted her work with the Obama administration on the Detroit auto bailout.
David Crowley is African-American himself, so he had natural appeal to Milwaukee's black voters.
But it's worth noting that we have seen over and over again.
Again, that establishment candidates do better than progressive candidates among black voters.
I think the easiest place to start is to remember that black voters almost unanimously support Democrats.
And many Black voters support Democrats regardless of their views on the issues.
So there are many more moderate or even conservative Black voters who vote for Democrats than other racial groups, because for other racial groups, the moderate and conservative voters would just vote Republican.
So in the Black primary electorate, you have many more moderate and
Conservative black voters who, at the very least, are not exactly receptive to the case for democratic socialism or may even outright oppose it.
The other thing to keep in mind is that in many Democratic primaries as of late, older black voters have turned out at much higher levels than young voters.
It may be the case that young black voters support the progressive candidates in these races, and it's just really hard to tell because the turnout among young black voters has been really low.
Really in some ways it's been really low since the Obama era.
So we have a disproportionately older group of black voters who's participating in these primaries as well.
And again, old voters, regardless of race, are backing the establishment candidate.
I think we should think of it as ascendant and gaining ground, especially if we bracket Bernie Sanders aside for a second.
If you bracket aside his campaign, we've watched the progressive left grow from only occasionally winning a handful of primaries in the nation's most highly educated and democratic cities to now competing statewide in classic battleground states like Michigan and Wisconsin.
That said, this is a very different kind of progressive coalition than the one that Bernie Sanders put together back in twenty sixteen.
And it's different in ways that say a lot about where the progressive movement might be heading in twenty twenty eight and beyond.
I think to understand it's worth stepping back and remembering what the Bernie Sanders coalition looked like in twenty sixteen against Hillary Clinton.
At its core, there was the same young progressive democratic socialist activist group that's still at the core of the progressive movement today.
