    I don’t think that. But that’s the lesson that gets learned. Why did Biden get the nomination? Because he was “electable.” What did primary voters decide electable meant? The most milquetoast and “center” candidate of the bunch. Trump winning doesn’t push Democrats to be progressive or bold. It pushes them away from that. Only when they feel they have huge majorities do they do anything verging on progressive.

      It pushes them away from that.

      All it did was cause them to run the exact same candidate that lost to Trump but this time with a penis.
