Over 50% of the electorate want a solidly progressive candidate. Add up Sanders, and Warren alone and you get 40% — 10% more than Biden.

Biden's the One.

30% is not a majority. He's a familiar name. Unfortunately his thinking is hardwired to the 1980s.

Add up the polls for all the most progressive candidates and you get over 50% of the Dems. That's a lot higher than Biden's 30%

Wow!

were up with Warren, I'd be a happy camper.

Even at double digits behind, Sanders is too close for my comfort. I don't worry about his ideology, per se. Congress legislates, not the president. And Sanders' NYT editorial board interview made it clear he imagines his presidency as an ongoing ideological battle of him against congress, even if Democrats hold either or both houses, virtually guaranteeing a failed, single-term presidency.

Bad enough, but what worries me is remembering that the powers who once again need Sanders to win our primary are the same ones who needed Trump to win the presidency. Keeping power in RW hands is has literally become an existential issue for many among the RW powers.
