The first lesson for the left in the future: You can run to the left. I think you can anyway. But if your message is that the Democratic Party sucks, your chances of winning a Democratic primary is exactly 0%.
If you actively insult the people you need to get to vote for you, it's not good politics!
I mean, Biden is....very very bad. And that when voters saw him or Bernie and really went all-in for Biden, well that is something the left has to take very seriously in the future. Not in a sense of hopelessness or cynicism. In a sense of learning lessons about politics.
And to be blunt, if you can't win older black voters, you simply cannot win the Democratic primary. It is impossible. And the white college-educated left had better the hell learn that lesson.
And the choice between Biden's caretaking incompetency and Trump's fascism is obvious. Anyone who in the end won't vote for Biden is someone who never has the right to talk about solidarity again. But that doesn't mean you have to like it. It does mean you have to do it.
