Jeffrey Isaac brought my attention to the following article by Peter Drier, which sets forth the points I want to make in some detail. That article, which can be found at: https://publicseminar.org/…/next-steps-for-the-left…/
was actually written before this past Tuesday’s votes. Those votes only strengthens Drier’s (and my) case. The primary challenge the Democratic campaign will face, will be to convince most of the Sanders supporters (more than the Warren supporters, I believe) to support, not even to say actively support, a Biden campaign. I’ve even seen some — EVEN in the Facebook chain of comments to my original post — to go so far as to say there is no difference between the Dems and the Republicans. How does one argue with such people?!!! And after what we have been going through these last 3 years, and the overwhelming disaster that a Trump re-election would constitute for any sort of representative government, not to say progressive politics. But that’s the rabbit hole down which too much of the Left seems to have fallen. Peter Drier’s proposals for Sanders, Warren and Biden hopefully would significantly address many of these concerns.
