@djc but the story of what went wrong (and has weakened the D coalition immeasurably by expanding the faction of implacably skeptical “tankies”, who sit elections out, vote third party, or become conspiratorial Trump voters) has never been explicitly acknowledged, the much better state of the D party was a product of quiet discretion by Biden or has staff. it’d be better to acknowledge the Obama period failure and work to institutionalize power sharing. /fin
