The entire democratic base is fed up, not just with Trump and Elon but also the feckless Dem leadership that seems to only know how to lose

People are desperate for real opposition leadership that isn't corrupt and has been correctly identifying the problem for years already. That's Bernie

why do you think it had such outsized crowd?

It doesn't imply that the country is shifting left. But it does show that the existing left are extremely animated and engaged right now.

AOC and Bernie to their credit are the only game in town right now.   These folks are pissed off and looking for a way to express that.   I would not take it as a shift left.

If only this many people gave a fuck when he was running 🥲 better late than never given the climate though
