It shows you how successful the re-branding of the Democrats has been over 40 years. They squat on the "left" space in US politics, and everything to the left of them is stigmatized as crazy or authoritarian and a toxic third rail. To the point where they legit have poor/working class people going online and arguing that free healthcare and college are bad.
Which is only going to get worse if Biden wins. If the Democrats get the White House it will stamp a seal of approval on them that they're "the left", and Biden is farther right than even Clinton or Obama. He's farther right than fucking Reagan and Nixon ffs. When the Dems subsume the "left" and do a hard right it has disastrous effects on the real left cracking into mainstream media and discourse.
Agreed, with the exception that they're pretty OK at winning in a controlled environment where they can oversee the cheating, and when their opponent agrees to play by some archaic rules of decorum and never attack them even while they're screwing the pants off him, and then surrenders and supports the ghoulish evil candidate who screwed him.
Once they have to go into a general election against Republicans who are much better at cheating, they're often fucked.

Luckily they're really, really good at losing.
