      Totally bizarre you would even raise this. Do you honestly think it's a question, or is this a way for you to signal to your audience that I'm untrustworthy and should not be listened to?https://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1222565010066427904 …

      5. So the question about electability really falls on the Democratic electorate: are they willing to support a candidate from a different wing of the party in order to defeat Trump. Or to be more specific, will @jonathanchait vote for Sanders or Warren if they are the nominee?

      I'm assuming you would vote for them! That's my argument: that the Democratic coalition (because of polarization) will hold.

          Yes, so we should stop talking electability and start talking about vision, style, plans, etc.

          If simply getting committed Democrats like Chait to vote for the Democratic nominee was enough, you'd be right. But that isn't enough. So you're wrong.

          You really think getting Chait's vote is the challenge for any Democratic nominee? You don't think there are plenty of voters to the right of Chait that a Democrat will need to win?

          .@HeerJeet dude why are you even bothering to engage? This is like debating Bret Stephens on the relative merits of phrenology or trying to decide what movie to rent at Blockbuster this weekend. "Electability" as Chait is using it has gone the way of the passenger pigeon.

          Chait's just being disingenuous. I agree he'd vote for EW or BS over trump -- he just SO DOESN'T WANT TO... so all his pieces right now are directed at hurting the left side of the dems with scary theories.

          I think it's anything but certain at the moment that the people now speaking out so vigorously against Sanders would in fact vote for him if he were to be the nominee. It doesn't sound like it, and I have seen people here say that they will not. That's my current question.

          Your example here may have been off. Chait is not at the edge of the Democratic electorate, but much closer to the middle. Also, Obama-Trump voters are the ones being contested in the highly polarized world you describe, so it seems like they should be the relevant example.
