My impression of Yang—and I liked the guy—was that mainstream Democrats were never really his primary audience anyway. His Twitter account seemed to be a raucous mix of Bernie bros, socialists with trollish leanings, memesters, and other oddballs whose politics—and dedication—appeared somewhat amorphous.

I don’t think the party screwed him at all. I think most Dems weren’t really in his camp anyway and the ones who were either gravitated towards Bernie or didn’t ultimately vote at all.
