Say, include the wealth tax, some student loan forgiveness and a minimum wage hike, and then give Sanders and Warren credit for bringing you around on those issues to a compromise, to try to give their supporters more than a begrudging endorsement as incentive to support him. Might be worth a shot?

Terrible idea that would be impossible to administer and is probably unconstitutional anyway. Were I an American, I would likely vote for Biden, but not if he were in favour of a wealth tax.
Otherwise, good analysis.
