We have two tasks before us. The first is to defend everyone and anyone in the fascist crosshairs. The second is to eject corporate Democrats and other bedtime-story-telling losers from the conversation, so that we can build a true political opposition on the left.

The assignment was not to repeat 2020. The assignment was not to create an outcome close enough that we have to fear another Trump coup attempt. It looks like Harris will at best win another squeaker, enabling Trump to rile up a seething mass of violent resentment that endangers everyone in this country. 

That is a failure. It is a failure of the Harris/Biden team, an unacceptable failure.
