Bernie + Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to attract younger voters?
And (rightly or wrongly) turn off the swing voters / purple states presumably?

Is that what will happen?
So the dems needs someone young and forward-thinking enough to attract people under 30 whilst also attracting the middle aged / older / more conservative swing voters?

Swing voters don't exist. Or, at least, they don't exist in numbers that are significant enough to influence elections above other factors. Swing voters win elections which is why being a big centrist who appeals to nobody is super important is nothing but received wisdom, and is pretty much the principle reason why Hillary Clinton got beaten by a man with holes in his brain.
What matters is who can motivate their voters and get them to the polls. Red meat for the base. I.e. #berniewouldvewon

Tbh I'm surprised at most political parties uselessness at having people lined up to lead. It's the same thing here in Sweden. Some parties have to sack their leader and then they nominate someone that literally no one knows about. They might be known among politicians, but had more or less zero visibility for common folk
