In an atypical foray into identity politics, the Sanders campaign apparently argued to progressives that Warren can’t expand her base beyond highly educated women who will vote for Democrats in any event. Sanders then sort of, but not exactly, walked it back. Was he right?
Yes. Neither candidate has a plausible path to the “revolution,” but Sanders would have the better chance, as he has more flexibility on cultural issues and more ability to appeal to white male workers than the female Professor Kingsfield. That’s a big part of the reason that he is winning in the progressive lane, even though it is obvious that Warren would be a more effective president.
