Chait’s political advice for liberals - a quadrennial February tradition like no other nymag.com/intelligencer/…
The comparison to Jeremy Corbyn that animates today’s Chait piece appears to proceed from ignorance of how the Labour Party works differently from the Democratic Primary. Corbyn did not go around winning the popular vote in every contest he personally entered, as Sanders has.
The popular vote results in the first three states also belie the idea that Democrats are “a liberal party drifting helplessly along as a small radical cabal steers it toward likely catastrophe.”
Who knows whether Sanders will continue to the nomination or stumble? Who knows whether he can survive all the redbaiting and win the general? Certainly not me, but results to date show a democratic outcome—he has had the most support from voters in the states that have voted.
