Thread’s pretty good but I think there’s a misreading of Bernie vs Warren in there

Yeah possibly. I can't bring myself to take Bernie as a serious representative of anything though. His appeal seems to be the ideologically active set rather than the merely resentful superset.

The thing is though, if he wins the primary (I’d assign him maybe a ~10% chance of getting through) I think he represents the superset to which you’ve been pointing •very well• Not just in US saltwater coast enclaves wracked by inequality...

He may be too compromised by 2016 failure and the current extra strong alliance with the Big Tent woke left aka AOC.

I don’t know. If Sanders won, yes he’d have an alliance with the emerging AOC wing. But he’d be pretty attractive to some of the Repub electoral coalition. He’d be on Fox a lot. I think a Sanders general campaign would be pretty formidable against Trump.

But that’s assuming a 2 way heads-up race. I think what would finish Bernie off (if he won the Dem nom) is that it would almost certainly provoke a third party candidate in the general.
