I’m sorry but this article is awful. Nearly slop quality. It is so narrow that it could go anywhere. Not only does it think that Democrats are “the left” but he refers to them as “leftists” as if most socialists were ever confused about the nature and weaknesses of Kamala Harris. It leaves wide open the possibility that you look at the Democrats situation and think they should go even more right-wing, just with a “competent woman without baggage” this time.
I get that he is addressing mainstream politics watchers, but this kind of hyper-online person is just as out of touch as the Democrats he is critiquing if he thinks “the left” (if he is including Democrats in that category) maintains an echo-chamber, because the progressive/leftist side of the movement (that he assuredly thinks is “too left to win” again holding to the “conventional wisdom” that he himself decries) was telling them how bad and unappealing their candidate was the whole time. Just because they refused to listen doesn’t mean it’s an echo chamber.
Democrats keep glass cliff’ing women.
