    Jeet Heer Retweeted Nate Silver

    1. Warren and Sanders have taken very different tacks to getting the party establishment to accept a shift to the economic left. Warren took a conciliatory approach of emphasizing unity, Sanders to more explicitly challenge. Both attempts met with resistance.https://twitter.com/NateSilver538/status/1235654273129578496 …

    In retrospect, the resistance Warren faced in October/November once she came to be perceived as a frontrunner should have been a bigger warning sign for the resistance Sanders would face once he came to be seen as the frontrunner.

        2. Warren's unity gambit didn't make her any more acceptable -- she was undercut by party elders (including Obama & Clinton) for being too far left. But the problem was it was made too soon -- before racking up victories.

        3. Sanders by contrast ended up alienating people he needed to win. He's now shifted more in Warren's direction with nods to party unity. Some more thoughts on this here:https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/warren-sanders-democrat-unity/ …

        Cuz the establishment knows they have all the power, so there is no incentive to cave either way. The house always wins and they know it.

        I love nate’s implication that the democratic party establishment is not leftwing, but if AOC says this she gets excoriated

        Definitely. I'm a liberal and feel nothing but respect for her. The Sanders movement will be in good (possibly BETTER) hands once the post-Sanders era begins. If they can hold the thing together they'll have someone to lead it.

        but warren couldn't actually deliver unity because sanders supporters would not buy in to the conciliatory approach. So why would the party establishment opt for a deal with her?

        The moral I think is power doesn't just concede power, regardless of tactics.
