    It’s staggering that you need a fascist democracy ending opponent to put enough pressure on a neo liberal so they do at least a bit of good.

      ? None of us know what would have happened if Trump wasn’t the opposition. Based on anonymous commentary from Aides over the past few weeks, I’ve read in the New York Times, Axios, Politico, it seems that trump being the republican nominee was actually the reason Biden was so reluctant to drop out, as he believed (until saturday) he could do better against trump than Harris could.

        I meant to say that maybe a lot of the good things in Biden’s presidency were a result of the specter of Trump looming over his shoulder.
