Is Bidens campaign dead? (EDIT: Well, this was turned around completely.)

Primary season always brings out the more extremes in the party, so just because there were more doesn't mean there will be more come general election. And if that is the case, then Trump will also be aided by that as he had extremely high turnout for an incumbant compared to Obama and Bush at least in Iowa (haven't checked NH or Nev yet).

Also, while Bernie appeals to typically non voting youths, he is very unappealing to typically voting elderly or middle aged people. So much so that that many of them will vote for third party, not at all, or Trump. If you go after one demographic you tend to alienate at least another one.

So we alienate the old moderates and left leaning Republicans who might not vote anymore but replace them with far left leaning youth who will be voting for the next several decades?

Well, golly....we call that a revolution.

Those ultra liberal youths will become more and more moderate, many even conservative, as they get older. Look back at any of the big youth movements from the roaring twenties to post ww2, to the hippie movement. They all eventually settled down. I once had a history teacher telle he was a diehard liberal until he became a father and then swung the other way. That is and will be the story of many.
