This bit here is doing a whole lot of work for your argument. Ultimately, I don't think the actual movers and shakers in the US would go to bat for Trump when a perfectly acceptable neoliberal ghoul replacement is available.
Yes. Some libs were trying to tell me that he was running a radical environmentalism campaign against Bush, and so he was seen as a threat to the status quo, but that's just false.
Nader was running on something similar to the GND, iirc, and Gore was calling it crazy, over-the-top, and unnecessary. He suggested a pretty modest carbon tax, and only made his switch on environmentalism well into GWB's first term. People seem to think that An Inconvenient Truth came out like right after the election, but it wasn't released until half way through Bush's second term.
Gore was a shit candidate, running on standard neolib policies, and he lost because of that. And some elections fraud in Florida.
Yeah I don't disagree with that and I can absolutely see him just not being able to pull of the kind of electioneering he needs to win. However I still see the situation I outlined as a possible path for him. If Bernie was the nominee I don't think he would have any trouble getting it to happen, but like you say, Biden is totally acceptable to those movers and shakers

But wasn't Gore a perfectly neoliberal ghoul replacement too?

Yeah but Bush was like "if you let me win then I'll do 9/11 and we can go to war"
