And yet that is exactly the point.
Biden is the presumptive nominee not because he is a sure thing, but because he can’t win. That would make no sense to.a traditional Democrat’s way of thinking, but the party is no longer run by the old school, but by a new school of radicals. Its goal is not to win elections, but to radicalize the party and the country. A hopelessly weak candidate facing an unwinnable election against Trump or DeSantis serves that purpose far better than a Newsom victory.
An unwinnable candidate in an election they can’t afford to lose will once again radicalize the Democrats and force them to break rules they hadn’t even previously thought of breaking.
To leftists the election isn’t the issue, only the revolution.
Another excellent essay from Mr. Greenfield. Any doubts about the true political nature of the left may now be dispensed with.

===========================================
Mmmmm, perhaps we'd better reacquaint the left w/ some time-honored advice.
And I quote: "There's many a slip 'twixt cup and the lip."
An old English proverb that cautions: even when a desired outcome or conclusion seems certain,
things can still go go wrong, kinda like "don't count your chickens before they hatch, baby".
