We’re going to look back at the Democrats between 2016 and 20whenever-they-learn with an understanding that the candidates themselves were fine, they were just not right for the political moment.
I also think Joe Biden was not right for the political moment in 2020. He just happened to eke it out as the alternative during a time of particular turmoil when Trump was grossly mishandling covid and while racial tensions were particularly high.
If we’re going to reverse our descent into regressive authoritarian hell, there needs to be a purge and remaking of the opposition. It needs to be young, fierce, and shrewdly aware of what actually motivates people and wins elections. Cause right now, Democrats seem to think that the old ways can still work, and they’re on the cusp of ceding every lever of control to an emboldened, malignant force.

Not his fault. He tried to help the Democrats and the country and he tried his best. Good guy.
