1. "tiny"? According to Real Clear Politics Aggregation: Warren + Sanders = 34.1%, Biden = 26.8. Or we could put together all Chait cited moderate candidates (Biden, Klobuchar, Bennet et) & get 29.5%
2. Of course, in the real world most people don't break down into consistent left/centrist binaries (Bernie is the 2nd choice of many Biden supporters). But if you add up all the candidates Chait thinks are too left you get a majority of the party!
3. Seriously, if I add up all the candidates who Chait seems to think of as have gone too far to the left or being to fringe (Sanders, Warren, Harris[!], Buttigieg[!!], Yang, Gabbard, Castro) you get 47.7%. All the Chait-acceptable moderate candidates get 34.6%
4. To be clear, I'm not saying Harris or Buttigieg are left candidates or have moved too far to the left -- but Chait seems to think so.
