The Democrats’ best hope is devolution, not Biden. Two of the emerging regional compacts are supermajority blue. That provides the internal consensus necessary for governance.

If the governors of CA or NY can overrule the president then the election just matters less.
"Fifteen end up forming an interstate compact, a well-established mechanism...explicitly introduced in the Constitution...Historians will later mark it as the first step in our nation’s slow breakup, the conscious uncoupling of these United States."

Devolution combines decentralization and centralization.

Decentralize into N regional compacts.

Within these compacts, much greater alignment on values and the direction of governance. Hence more internally centralized.
