      The conversation is trending this way, but I don't think there's evidence that a confrontational approach to the Dem establishment is a turnoff for party voters. Empirically, insurgent figures are as or more popular than leadership. The concerns are about political viability.

      The thing is Warren tried a conciliatory approach & Sanders an insurgent approach. Warren's conciliatory approach didn't work because she didn't have enough votes to make establishment want to cut a deal. Sanders' insurgency didn't work because it alienated establishment.

          Just like in the UK, any moderate redistribution candidate can't win over the establishment. You have to be a complete sellout to get good coverage and even then you still represent a party that in theory is for tax increases on the wealthy ect. IE: Blair being Murdoch's BFF

          Indeed, I'm reminded of all the claims by Republicans that Obama was "divisive". Sometimes, people are just not going to agree. Jamie Dimon and Bernie Sanders are not going to find common ground. (Let's be honest about who is in charge.)

          I think it's just more that Warren split the vote on super Tuesday because she doesn't actually want her policies, or at least can't put them over her ego, while centrists don't care because the purpose is a payday not an election, and they will all get theirs, party be damned.

          There's also a chance Warren is also getting a payday, although I tend to think ego is more likely given she's already worth around 12 million. Klobuchar is just barely a millionaire, and Pete will for sure be cashing out.

          Which is what we should have done after 2016 and should be doing right now. It needs to be made abundantly clear if Biden is the nominee, you're party is going to be 30-40% smaller the next day. Good luck winning a dog catcher election with that.

          The hypostatization of “the establishment” is reaching absurd levels. Who do you imagine would have negotiated with Warren in this imaginary deal-cutting? Sanders didn’t fail with “the establishment,” he failed with Democratic voters.
