This has nothing to do with leftists. Pete's numbers with younger voters are atrocious. That may not mean much this cycle, but in 4-8 years, when those people make up the bulk of the voting population, it almost certainly will.
I get the old adage that voters tend to become more conservative as they age, but that's usually due to the fact that people tend to accrue more wealth and better lifestyles as they age and are thus more motivated to hold onto the status quo. That's not really happening for many millennials and zoomers, and unless that changes substantially under a Biden administration, we're likely to see even more aggressive populism from both the left and the right in coming years and a much stronger backlash against the Mayor Petes of both parties.
