There's something poetic in how all of their efforts are apparently blowing up in their faces right now.

If they devoted their energy to pushing Biden left instead or to turning against Biden early on in order to demand a better candidate, this wouldn't have happened.

Instead they pushed the line that Biden is our only option and I'd guess that a good proportion of reluctant Biden voters who were chastised into backing him a second time are gonna be rapidly losing their already dubious conviction to back Biden, but also it seems like suddenly there's a rift amongst the diehard Dem camp where one side is still rallying behind Biden while the other has lost their faith in Biden being a viable candidate.

Aside from it being a state of chaos under heaven there's gotta be some bitter irony in that second camp, having spent so much time scolding other people into voting for Biden who are now the ones that are about to get scolded by the diehard Biden camp for not supporting Biden hard enough.

A part of me hopes this is a major inflection point amongst the US progressive cohort and that we're gonna see a large splinter group that finally wakes up and realises how toxic their vote-shaming strategy is and how chasing the DNC rather than expecting the DNC to appeal to the voterbase is a fundamentally broken strategy. I know that progressives are terrible at keeping score but surely there's a golden opportunity for agitation by reminding this newly disaffected cohort that the DNC destroyed their chances at beating Trump the first time around by bringing Bernie to heel and running Hillary instead and now they're doing the exact same thing by pushing Biden at any cost rather than finding someone who has broader appeal and popular support, or even just someone who can finish a sentence coherently.

Strange to think that the key message that the DNC has been pushing—that we must put up with anything in order to defeat Trump—might be the very thing that turns people away from the democrats because they have lost faith in the DNC and its lame duck nominee.

I blame tankies for tanking Biden's confidence. If we had all just united and pledged to vote for him super hard, he could have capitalized on our combined psychic energy, and done a hadouken on Trump.
