Rather boring and unoriginal “here’s how the Democrats can still win” article

Third paragraph is a completely unnecessary Lenin debunking or something idk

“There are decades when nothing happens, and weeks when decades happen,” Lenin is widely quoted as saying. In fact, he probably didn’t say it; please excuse my effort at fact-checking as a token pushback to our Leninist dialectic of exaggerations, deceptions and conspiracy theories that were all highlighted this week.

I’m really confused by the usage of the phrase Leninist dialectics here. Maybe someone smarter can parse it for me.
