      Option 3: Elect Joe Biden and a bunch of Democratic senators and enjoy 4 years of conventional center-left liberal politics.https://twitter.com/yhazony/status/1271913919452495872 …

      Liberals have two choices: 1 Submit to the Left. 2 Alliance with nationalists, conservatives, and Christians. There are no other choices.

      The assumption you are making is that Biden will mark a return to normality and not a deepening of the crisis. I'm not sure that is clear-cut.

      I don't think any of those things will feel like a real crisis a year from now, unless we don't get a Covid vaccine, which I think is unlikely. Climate change obviously is a crisis, but I don't think it's suddenly going to start to feel like one.

      Biden is going to solve police brutality in a year? (Ferguson uprising was under Obama). Any Covid recovery will be accompanied by push for austerity that Biden and Dems will be vulnerable to because of their coalition. Even with vaccine covid will cause long term care problem

          Police brutality isn't going to get solved in the short term. People aren't going to stay out on the streets indefinitely, any more than they kept doing Occupy demonstrations despite a lack of reforms to lessen wealth inequality.

          The idea that James wrote The Widsom of Crowds is a bit too on the nose here. Second wave is coming.

          I guess some of this depends on what we mean by "crisis." If you're saying Biden isn't going to solve long-standing problems - police brutality, inequality, climate change - I don't disagree.

          But in terms of the things that are driving the current sense of crisis - the protests, the pandemic, high unemployment - I think Biden will improve things on all those fronts enough that there will be no backlash against mainstream liberalism.

          Jeet they will be more effective than the Stench in the White House now. So lets start from that point.
