The Democratic party had a strong coalition of working class males who gladly called themselves Bernie Bros. They threw them away.

Yes, and you have Debbie VVasserman-Schutlz, 'Her Turn' Hillary, and the DNC to thank for that. I'll never forgive the DNC for what they did to Bernie's momentum in 2016. It felt organic, natural, and inevitable... until it wasn't.

They do not want south of center supporters.

I think I've talked about what I called vector theory here before. That is, if you take a standard 2-axis political landscape, you can turn the dots into arrows to show preference. For example, I'd argue most people here are in the bottom left quadrant. Most people quite to the left. But some people put more weight on the down than the left and other people put more weight on the left than the down.

Bernie in 2016 attracted a lot of down arrow people. They were not as far to the left as him, but they appreciated the pluralistic, non-identitarian and policy-based approach.

The question is why the establishment does not want those people. I think it's because we want everyone to follow the same rules. Simple as that.

Then they abandoned the pro- Labour Policies, the Trucker Strike for example. Biden called on Canada to do something about it, and Canada's leftist government decided to freeze the assets of protestors.

I'm Canadian, but this is where I fit ideologically.

Chasing corporate money is why they ran from Bernie. But that didn't help.
