she can't go after him without losing even more of the progressive support she's picked up from him this year, some of which she lost already because of her changing positions on MFA.

then lost part of it again. She also had picked up some support from moderates, which had surprised me until I saw interviews indicating some people supporting her actually didn't realize she supported MFA (they thought it was the public option), and she apparently lost some of them to Buttigieg the last couple of months.
