Quickly Nominating Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren Is Democrats' Best Chance at 2020

63. Yes, I did read it, but with an objective, open mind. Can you honestly claim the same?

First of all, take note that my longtime stated candidate preference is for VP Biden.
I've great respect for him, and have not changed my mind.
But I am keeping it open, and being mindful that nominating a more progressive candidate might have advantages.

Also note that I supported then Secretary Clinton in the 2008 primaries.
I am not hostile toward centrist candidates.
I just acknowledge that the times call for a sharper leftward shift than they tend to support in the interest of electability.

Now, let's dissect the article a bit.

The first paragraph conveys two main points: that nominating on the basis of electability gave us John Kerry while ignoring it gave us Barack Obama, and that long divisive primaries are a threat to the electability of any nominee.

The article then goes on to provide 15 paragraphs of analysis, with many links to relevant facts.

What you appear to actually mean is that the article conveys an opinion with which you disagree, presumably on account of which you seem to have actually denied the existence of 15 paragraphs of analysis supported by cited facts, because they do not support your opinion.

Set aside your ego for a moment, and ask yourself why you feel the need to insult the author and tout your political bona fides.

You're active in Texas politics? Cool.
You've met VP Biden and Senator Warren? Cool.
You've attended a party fundraiser? Cool.

The author was Deputy Chief of Staff to Harry Reid.

It's at least plausible that he knows of what he speaks.

And it's fine, and I would even argue healthy, for you to disagree with his assessment of the current political climate. But it would seem wise to not outright deny the presence of analysis and facts because you disagree with the conclusions drawn from them.

There's enough of that on the right.

And one last point, you know what an opinion with no facts or analysis looks like?
It looks like this:

If sanders or Warren is the nominee, we will lose these races.
