    the party is moving LEFT and at a good clip

    Imagine believing this. A few small wins does not equal moving left. But even those "left" winners happily fall in line behind the national party marching right.

    Biden/Harris is probably the last big hurrah for the center-right wing of the party, imo. Though if Biden wins, he will set up a bunch of soulless toads like Pete Buttigieg with White House experience, then they may drag out the death throes a little longer.

    No, Biden/Harris is enabling the Bush era Republican takeover of the party. What do you think the Lincoln Project is. If he wins, the party will be solidified as a right wing party with a fringe center-left element.

      It's not "a few small wins" maybe you have not really been paying attention to what is happening in states? It's barely been 3 years since the left wing of the party sprouted up after Bernie put socialism back on the map. On every poll after poll the vast majority of Democratic voters support the major center-left policy goals that comprised Bernie's social-democratic platform.

      Yeah, a bunch of Jennifer Rubin Republicans who claim they are going to vote Biden (who really knows), but it's a mistake to believe they are going to vote straight Dem down the ticket. They may mark Biden at the top, but it will be R's the rest of the way down. That is not a "takeover" of the party. That is an illusion. All of these Biden Republicans you see and hear from are inside-the-beltway grifters who have a vested interest in it some way or another. I don't think there are any real Americans who don't sit on twitter all day that think "I am gonna be a Democrat now because the they're sensible moderates, like those Lincoln Project fellas" Some of them might vote for Joe Biden, but they aren't gonna start marching the isles with the party banner.
