the thing about the overton window movers is: the dem primary voters *do* feel like the party 'moved left' on 'issues' — every candidate basically had rhetorical disagreements on 'progressive' rhetoric. at the same time, the electorate has moved clearly and demonstrably right

this is a contradiction no one, certainly not on the progressive left media set, wanted to confront until much too late. rather, the job was to move rhetoric while at the same time saying all we have to do is get cheeto man out! hence: Now We Are Gonna Push Biden Left

these things act in concert with each other, and the project has to be to break down this relationship because right now is a losers game

the thing is this is both true and untrue: and this is the essential contradiction. by 'progressive' standards yes, probably. but no, nothing will change for working people https://twitter.com/esaagar/status/1249769261863702535
