Warren has an almost identical platform to Sanders, but she is on the other side of the tactical split (she does not promise to turn out millions of non-voters, but to appeal to the center on a strong anti-corruption platform). That's why I find the idea of 'lanes' misguided

The danger is that there is no way to resolve the question of who is right about tactics without running both candidates against Trump in parallel universes. If whoever is nominated loses, there will be infinite bitterness about the victory that might have been.

It's also going to be really hard to unify the party this summer when the losing faction is convinced that the winning faction has adopted a suicidal election strategy.

There’s a deep and bitter schism over what to do afterwards, too. Some people want to go back to 2015. Others say that wouldn’t be enough and anyway it’s impossible.

This is the weird part: is this not the same mentality that drove/delivered the 2016 result … just the opposite side of the coin?
