      Thread —#2 is the key point. Have to have leverage before you can make this move. People want to back winner, won’t move in that direction re an insurgent *unless they have to.* Making move is strategy, but the **timing of when to do it is the tactic.** Both EW/BS flubbed timing.https://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1235969877833166856 …

      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/ …

      There is a slim possibility they have one more shot at this -- when party elite takes one last look at Biden and has to decide if they want to do this.

      Agree. Seems unlikely, but history keeps happening and he’s vulnerable especially during the next debate.

      Also: I'm not sure that even a more conciliatory approach would have worked. The party elite really hates the left, even in the most palatable form

          Sure. But there’s no alternative but to try. Otherwise you’re relying on a split field to create conditions for a hostile takeover. That’s a recipe for defeat either at this stage or in the general election.

          There’s a guy on twitter now trying to urge liberal left pols by name to endorse Bernie. Inslee, Gillum, etc. See the problem? That’s Bernie’s job! That what a smart pol who wants to build a *majority* does. Maybe everybody would blow him off, but he had to try. Dumb politics.

          Seems to me that after the election the left needs to do serious work to establish a viable national third party. The Democratic party has become hostile to progressives.

          That's what allows Likud to win.

          The party elite hated Bernie so much they helped him become senator; Sen. Schumer made him Senate Democrats Outreach Chair; and the allowed Bernie's representatives to be part of the DNC Unity Commission.

          Sanders railed against the party elite to gin up his base.

          You say this as if the far left is even capable of a conciliatory approach. They are not.
