      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/ …

          The truth is, no matter how nice you are the establishment will stomp you down if you challenge their power or try to change things that benefits them, especially if it is corrupt. There is no real democratic process here. Elections are mostly theater and pageantry for elite.

          It's just way too late for this gambit, especially since it feels so transparently fake. I mean, that Obama ad seemed so desperate.

          Zaid Jilani seems to be pretty well informed about what's going on in Sanders's campaign, and how it's being perceived in some circles. Made a number of concerning points, but one that stuck out was "none of Bernie's people can make a phone call"

          Good luck getting the Bernie bros to embrace a "unity message."

          I don’t think that’s going to work considering he and his followers spent a decade shitting on everyone to his right...which is 70%+ of the party he’s seeking the nomination of.
