Is it correct to say that Mélenchon 2017 was like Bernie Sanders 2016 and that Mélenchon 2022 was like Bernie Sanders 2020?
I proposed this parellel because Mélenchon 2017 and Sanders 2016 had an unusual base: non immigrant workers outside the big urban centers.
Sanders 2020 and Mélenchon 2022 had typical 21st century left base: immigrants, minorities, big cities, young people, educated people
No.
Melenchon increased his share of the vote and almost hit the run-off, Sanders got punted badly the second time.
