15. Really good article

Too bad it’s behind a paywall. I have Apple News+ so I was able to read it. Unfortunately I am not able to share it.

What really leapt out for me was the following:

“In my opinion, millions of potential voters stayed away from the polls because they didn’t believe that Democratic centrism represents a genuine and progressive alternative,” he said in a follow-up email. “If that’s true, then trying again — with an even more centrist approach — is a recipe for yet another failure.”


So all the folks who are trying to move the dems back to the center are really not accurately reading the situation. I think a lot of the disappointment people felt with Biden wasn’t because he was too progressive but rather because he wasn’t progressive enough. Or at least that’s how it sounds to me.
