but then there are lines like this :

"Biden did not have the strength or will to stop his administration from governing from the far left."

This is nonsense. The investment in infrastructure has been one of the Biden administration's successes and it's disingenuous to conflate this with inflation rising - a worldwide problem which they've also tackled reasonably effectively - but I don't expect a conservative commentator to recognise that public spending can be beneficial. It's a perfectly economically sound strategy, practised by centrist governments across Europe, for example. To label this as "far left" is a sign of where the Overton window sits in US politics.

If Biden has moved the party slightly to the left, that's because Democrats, particularly younger Democrats, have demanded it - precisely because they are sick of the "politics as usual" that the author rightly decries.

I totally get the idea of wanting radical change, an end to the broken system where rapacious global behemoths hoover up ever larger quantities of capital and power. The Democrats are not offering this. I don't even know whether it's in the gift of any government to do so these days - I mean technically it is but in practice corporations dictate to politicians, not the other way round.

I understand the need to listen to people we disagree with and try to see the viewpoints that form their opinions rather than dismiss Trumpsters as thick, racist and/or mentally ill (not nice to say but I believe many are some combination thereof).

The dam is cracking whatever the result of this election. I wish I knew what the solution was, but I am absolutely certain that it doesn't involve electing a narcisstic lunatic like Donald Trump and all that this would usher in.

Whether he wins or loses, these are dangerous times and the forces that propelled Trump to this position will persist after he's gone.
