Simple formula using objective measurements.
-Presidential margin (for how Dem it "should"vote) + incumbency number(obvious) + positive value if they are considered progressive/left (names the number larger to create apparent underperformance.

There are several pieces of evidence pointing to Kenyatta getting the most black support, so it could go either way. Lamb's supporters were less black then the other two, and he was seen as the main competitor over Kenyatta.
All of these races have the same or higher proportion of black voters

Mamdani, possibly Fetterman, Latimer, Ocasio Cortez first primary, Recent Pittsburgh mayor primary, quite a lot of candidates win with black voters supporting someone else.

Black voters are only ~1/5 of the primary electorate, so any candidate with just black support isn't doing well.

Not surprising at all, actually. Lots of Sanders people doing the "class above everything, woke is a neoliberal distraction" types were doing this sort of thing since 2016. Screenshot is an example from earlier this year.

Most people on pedestals are problematic/mediocre it seems, I've come to think its part of why that pedestal exists. Sanders and Harris (bog standard senator) had the rabid supporters from 2020, Trump of course has his thing. Musk in business is not unusually skilled or knowledgeable about

He also opposed removing the filibuster, didn't support court reform, lots of compromises like gun control, himself leans into "crotchety rough white guy" presentation. Platner is the type of politician people like Sanders go for. (and Sanders has endorsed similar before.)

This is getting some pushback but it seems straightforwardly true if you define left-liberalism as the Warren-esque consensus that dominated the Biden administration and much of the 2020 primary with candidates trying to out-woke each other rhetorically.

I donβt necessarily think woke is dead but I do think left-liberalism is. There is an important distinction here.

I don't know if woke is fully dead (it really depends on how you define it) but I do think the meaningless "I'm holding space for marginalized folx working to break the glass ceiling reinforced by sexism and whiteness" is basically over in political campaigns.
I'd personally lump a lot of Sanders people (call them Berniebros, red-brown, etc.) in with centrist types as a type of left punchers. Can see a friendly interaction between examples of each below. Both complain about "woke", are personally a$$holes often, like problematic politicians, etc.

despite Silicon Valley support, Ocasio Cortez putting Adrienne Adams over Lander in ranked choice endorsements who want on to support Cuomo and do other shady stuff, Bernie Sanders opposed filibuster and supreme court changes plus gun control but is held above anyone else)

There are, but political organizations/people in them a lot s of fans go for appearance/presentation ("Macho looking blue collar looking guy" in this case, as with Fetterman) over competence, history of solid policies, etc., and want some asshole behavior thrown in (Rho Khanna getting boosted

Can do it with a powerful enough blender as well (freeze your mix, add enough liquid when you want to eat, blend until smooth), but Creami does seem to do stuff that a more multipurpose blender wouldn't handle well (like mixins.)
