I think it& #39;s somewhat reasonable to not really care about Biden beating Trump and spend the rest of 2020 working on downballot races for better candidates.
That looks a little different than spending the rest of 2020 cheering on third party spoilers helping Trump get re-elected.

It& #39;s a project (generously) designed to offer a way for the left to still view itself as the protagonist of American politics, rather than facing up to the deficit of power and organization that& #39;s been revealed by Bernie coming up short again in the D primary.
That& #39;s a powerlessness partially created by decades of organizing around fringe or niche Presidential grifter candidates rather than working to get left candidates into office. Thankfully, a trend that& #39;s reversed in the fallout of Bernie& #39;s historic 2016 campaign.
There& #39;s important downballot races all over the country but one I& #39;ll plug specifically is CA-53 where there& #39;s a D vs D general election matchup between Bernie-endorsed Latina LGBTQ candidate Georgette Gomez and a billionaire& #39;s granddaughter with close ties to the D establishment
I& #39;ll put this even simpler: if you want the left to have power, you have to get left candidates into actual elected offices, because that& #39;s where the power is https://twitter.com/Dumpcake_ind/status/1253346707104038912">https://twitter.com/Dumpcake_...

Covid delaying or forcing vote-by-mail for states that still have yet to hold D primaries may present a unique opportunity to win primaries or open seats for left candidates. Lot of opportunity left on the table.
So many examples of this. I supported and voted for Cynthia Nixon but imagine what that race looks like with a more experienced candidate. https://twitter.com/rev_avocado/status/1253348715819040773">https://twitter.com/rev_avoca...
