Biden shld 100% focus on healing the rift. But unprecedented action? This is delusional. Sanders had about 25% support. The field thinned. And the other major candidate started getting all the votes. That’s called an election.
2/ A better post mortem is that if you want to win an election you have to build an expand coalitions. Otherwise you’re going to have to be extremely lucky to win with 25% to 30% of the vote. This should be obvious. The fact that it’s not points to some of the problem.
3/ Now as I said at the top, Biden absolutely needs to work on healing this rift. Sanders movement has some of the most energized elements of the party, many significantly alienated from more conventional or mainstream Democratic politics. Bringing those supporters on board ...
4/ is absolutely critical.
