1. People are underestimating the size of Biden's victory for reasons mentioned in this useful thread: lots of votes left to count in blue states & also historic high turnout. Combined, it looks like a higher share of voters supported Biden than supported Reagan in 1984https://twitter.com/jtlevy/status/1324408585590329345 …

6. If you think Trump was an existential threat to American democracy, then Biden's strategy was not only successful but justified.

If Trump has evidence, it’s time to poop or get off the pot. It looks like he will end his Presidency as terribly as he ran his entire Presidency.

and to be frank the end result is something the Dems don't mind. They get their presidency and have a GOP senate to blame when they don't accomplish anything.

Why would any Dems be okay with nothing getting done? That’s ludicrous.

This is not even-handed unless you're also acknowledging all the non-2016-voters that Biden and prog organizers brought into the electorate, and reckoning with the fact that this, too, was a function of running against Trump. Turning it into *just* converting Rs is misleading.
-
it doesn't make any sense anyway, because of the greatly increased R turnout compared to 2016.

The other obvious conclusion is that any left candidate like Bernie or Warren would have lost badly. I mean, just say it.
