"By promising transformative policy changes that have virtually no chance of passing, Sanders makes his opponents’ still ambitious but much more realistic proposals appear weak by comparison. By refusing to be specific about how much his plans will cost, he avoids criticism that burdens more forthright candidates. And by saying that he will get his plans enacted through a political revolution that would be “unprecedented, certainly in the modern history of this country,” Sanders makes it difficult to challenge his unproven theory of change."

there's a bunch of primary political infighting news & gossip going on that's related and I was hesitant at first to post it--as I loathe feeding faux horse race controversy-- but you've provided a great big picture article to post it under! Here we go, first:

Myself, I tend to agree with people who present the issue like this:
A lot of his supporters are divisive. They don't like the idea of courting moderates or centrists somehow, they have the example of Trump, and mirror it. Win by harping on a few pie-in-the-sky promises attack the establishment and then throw in the right electoral "strategery"?

But also a reminder that Radio Free Tom advises do not go negative on Bernie, it only helps him.

Krugman: won't be a "feel the Bern" progressive revolution:
"It’s true that Sanders enthusiasts believe that they can rally a hidden majority of Americans around an aggressively populist agenda, and in so doing also push Congress into going along. But we had a test in the midterm elections: Progressives ran a number of candidates in Trump districts, and if even one of them had won they would have claimed vindication for their faith in transformative populism. But none did; the sweeping Democratic victory came entirely from moderates running conventional campaigns."

It's a real problem. The front runners are so divisive that it's going to depress turnout.Moderate democrats will have trouble voting for Sanders. Liberals will have trouble voting for Biden. I had hoped that maybe Warren could at least be acceptable to moderates and liberals but right now she sinking.

not a divider, he's saying it now, not later: Joe Biden will endorse any Democrat who wins the nomination
