There is, however, an available arena where West could still provide useful pressure by laying out the left alternative to Bidenism: the Democratic primaries. On the debate stage, at campaign rallies, and in national media coverage, West, with his prophetic voice and moral clarity—like Sanders in 2016 and 2020—could accomplish a great deal.

As if there will be debates, LOL
Biden will win the Dem primaries for the same reason he won last time. All the Dem talking heads will go out to the public and shame voters, who absolutely think biden is dogshit, into voting for him because "its just too risky because of Trump".
