27. Not the same thing.

In 2016 Democrats were complacent. We had been in power for 8 years and believed that Clinton was going to walk to victory for another 4. Nobody who stayed home actually thought that Trump was going to end up winning.

Now it is a lot different. Polls indicate that most people believe that Trump is likely to be reelected, and that is despite his historically low approval numbers. That's all of the motivation base voters need.

On the other hand, Biden is much less likely to alienate moderate or swing voters than Warren is. Despite what might or might not be true, most of these people already think she is a socialist and that would stick with her for the entire campaign.

It's a bit ironic as well, because you likely end up with more progressive policy wins with Biden than you do with Warren. Republicans would fight her tooth and nail for her entire Presidency, if she were to win. They would fight Biden too, but a lot of them actually like him and they would find ways to settle on some things.

M4A and a new assault weapons ban will be next to impossible for a President Warren to get through without a super majority in the Senate. However, a President Biden could probably get protections and expansions for Obamacare and universal background checks through with just a majority.
