      I think this is basically right. One argument for a Sanders nomination is that it would sic all this troll energy on Trump. https://twitter.com/mattyglesias/status/1217831660135251968 …

      I believe Warren would be better at building consensus to get strong legislation passed. But on the other hand, Bernie is backed by a swarm of rabid locust people who once activated may be able to annihilate all who might stand in the way of economic equality.

          Except this prognostication defies historical governance records, what consensus has Warren built to pass strong legislation relative to Sanders Please spare the cfpb pablum

          The problem is, once a swarm of locusts descends on an area, it destroys everything. Bernie’s locust swarm might move to Trump, but they’ll do it alone.

          Because rabid locust people are focused and careful and would only eat the bad crops?

          He didn't express it best. Warren has no chance to get a coalition built w/Republicans w/out a strong movement behind her. She doesn't have that. Republicans aren't joining any coalition for progressive change until a movement FORCES them to. That's how it is now.
