They did that to Biden anyway, it's completely irrelevant.
"Electable moderate" loses in 2000, 2004, 2016, and it's much closer than it oughta be in 2020. (The "electable moderate" loses on the Republican side in 2008 and 2012 too btw.)
"Risky" Black candidate with middle name Hussein who has all the young people behind him wins easily twice. (He governed like a moderate Republican unfortunately which is a big factor in where we are.)
This isn't rocket science, and at the very least if your only takeaway is "keep moving further to the right" rather than doing any introspection whatsoever I just don't know what to tell you.
Unfortunately the bench looks weak, hopefully somebody rises up, but the most obvious choice at the moment is AOC.
