If Biden gets elected all the resistance suburbanites currently going "You just want four more years of Trump!!!!" are going to respond to any criticism of the president with "well then I guess you must really miss Trump!!!"
But Clinton explicitly ran on being a centrist conservative Democrat as a break from the failed progressivism of the past! That's what "New Democrat" at that time meant!

I mean yeah Mondale/Ferraro was a more progressive ticket than Clinton/Gore Hell, by virtue of its mission statement to abort the Reagan era rather than succeed it, it was a more progressive ticket

I mean what I'm kind of getting at here is this is a kind of self contradictory thing to be arguing Within the mythmaking of the late 20th century there absolutely is a perception that McGovern '72 hit the "limits of progressivism" and everyone since has run to the right

But if you look at the actual content of McGovern's platform this is kind of absurd I guess you could argue it if you're like Matt Stoller and you think same-sex marriage etc are all meaningless theater
