It might be easier for leftists to organize under a Biden presidency than a 2nd Trump term. Trumpism tends to reduce all politics towards reactive media circus. During the Obama years, leftist ideology entered the political mainstream, and neither Biden nor Harris have half of Obama’s charisma/(misplaced) credibility.
If all the #resistance phonies and grifters demobilize/log off after November, our movement is better off for it. We might even be able to start peeling off some of the rural working class if Dems are in charge.

These types are no small part of why Bernie lost. Primary turnout was huge among this crowd. If they coast through the midterms and into 2024 that could help DSA-style candidates.
I unironically agree with this. Trump's charisma (lol) has defined every single aspect of US politics for the last 4 years; if he loses, neither the GOP nor the Dems will have a genuinely magnetic leader, and the left will be able to point out how shitty electoral politics are from the outside.

I absolutely agree that dem primary turnout will go down substantially should Trump lose. It will be much easier for insurgents to win primaries.
