    1. "tiny"? According to Real Clear Politics Aggregation: Warren + Sanders = 34.1%, Biden = 26.8. Or we could put together all Chait cited moderate candidates (Biden, Klobuchar, Bennet et) & get 29.5%https://twitter.com/jonathanchait/status/1172880178273345537 …

    One of Biden's biggest advantages is that all the other high-profile candidates competed for a tiny left-wing slice of the party, ceding the field to him http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2019/09/democrats-presidential-candidates-old-radical-biden-warren-bernie.html …

        2. Of course, in the real world most people don't break down into consistent left/centrist binaries (Bernie is the 2nd choice of many Biden supporters). But if you add up all the candidates Chait thinks are too left you get a majority of the party!

        3. Seriously, if I add up all the candidates who Chait seems to think of as have gone too far to the left or being to fringe (Sanders, Warren, Harris[!], Buttigieg[!!], Yang, Gabbard, Castro) you get 47.7%. All the Chait-acceptable moderate candidates get 34.6%

        4. To be clear, I'm not saying Harris or Buttigieg are left candidates or have moved too far to the left -- but Chait seems to think so.

        So what you’re saying is Bernie Sanders should drop out and endorse Elizabeth Warren?

        Well, since Bernie is ahead of Warren, the opposite argument holds more force.

        Chait et al seem to think that because Biden is a moderate only the (supposedly much larger) moderate portion of the base supports him while Warren/Sanders have only smaller left faction with them when all the polling shows all three have support in both columns

        I thought Bernie people decided that Warren was a Hillary-esq neolib now. Shouldn't you include her numbers with Biden's to be consistent with your side? It's like Schroedinger's Warren with you guys. 😉

        And keep in mind the Biden number is likely inflated by the fact that he was VP to the most beloved and charismatic figure in the party. Most candidates who only have centrism to offer are having trouble cracking 2%.

        Hypothesis: Centrists are pragmatic so focus on the candidate in their lane who has the greatest chance of winning.
