Like, this is him elaborating further on his critique of left media. It's all about the *decision* to "emphasize points of disagreement" when speaking about a candidate who has "stances on dozens of issues." https://twitter.com/mattyglesias/status/1247935306592071681?s=20 …
I read that as "it is a problem that the left media won't get in line behind Biden; they need to get in line because Biden is the most favorable candidate they are going to get" - part 2 being an effort to change part 1...
...that seems to me, as a practical matter, self-evidently true. The election is now a binary choice. If your politics are Jacobin-esque, where do you go? And given that, how productive is it to continue to Bern at Biden?
Whether the left should get behind Biden for this reason is another question. My point is that politics is not an accumulation of "stances on issues" and it never has been. Biden represents political forces and tendencies antithetical to the left; he always has.
Policy positions taken by candidates matter in a number of ways, but left voters rightly perceive that they belong to a movement, with certain fundamental ideas about the nature of political change and the organization of a just society, that Biden does not subscribe to.
