      That’s fine. But it’s also important to understand that reason a barometric Dem like Biden moved to the left is precisely because the left pushed him and the rest of the party that way. Without Occupy thru Bernie and that doesn’t happen.

      True. But even then it's really not quite on the mark. Biden's a party consensus establishment liberal. Center-left. Whatever you wanna call it. Yes, he's moved. But same token, one can only call him a 'moderate' because the old senate mods are all gone.

      Right, but the point is not only that he moved. They all moved. The non M4All programs are all to the left of the plan in ‘09. Bernie and the left get credit for all of this.

      That’s all of saying. Part of liberals reconciling with the left is to acknowledge that.

      I agree. Whether it's Sanders or Biden the winning side needs to craft a story the other faction can be part of. Needs to be both true and work.

      Part of my anxiety is that I think the one candidate who is best positioned to craft a unity message to bring both sides in (Warren) has almost no shot at the nomination.

      He'll need to bring A LOT of Bernie supporters in. And I think he can. The great majority are down to vote for the nominee no matter what. The key question is what sliver defect. Doesn't have to be big to be a huge problem.

      Replying to @joshtpm @AwardsDaily and

      Right. Polling shows all the major candidates are popular with large majority of Dems. The problem is that Biden's message (return to normality) doesn't resonate (I think) with a few crucial marginal voters (young, working class). You need those voters.

          The polling one week ago showed a straightforward tradeoff outside of Florida, with Sanders doing better with Obama-Trump voters/Obama-3rd party/Obama-nonvoters, while Biden does better with Romney-Clinton voters. Today? who knows. in October? who knows.

          Democrats don't have a problem with their old partisans showing up. The younger voters are more marginal and need more motivation.

          @BernieSanders is gonna have the most votes like in ‘16 but everyone knows the fix is in again- this time it’s Creepy Uncle Joe to be the neo cons standard bearer (if he’s not in the home by November)

          "a few" is an incredible understatement; Biden and his message nauseates a lot and leaves even more bored to apathy
