    The same DNC that blamed the left for Hillary losing and then credited centrism with Biden winning?

    Those are fine goals, but pragmatism involves addressing reality as it is, not how you would like it to be. I doubt you can achieve both removing legitimacy from the system as you see it and forcing the DNC to speak to the left simultaneously since the DNC is a part of the system that’s in place. Unfortunately the DNC appealing to the left needs to be a two way street, make the left more appealing to the DNC than the right. All those Republicans endorsing Harris is the right appealing to the DNC, the left needs to out do that effort to pull the DNC to the left. Rejecting them won’t do that, only the opposite.

    My critique is he makes one assertion and backs it up with style instead of actually developing or analyzing it. He takes a single basic observation and uses it an a blunt instrument. Sellers set prices. Brilliant observation. Don’t bother looking into why, just feel upset about it.
    It’s like he sees an apple fall from a tree to the ground and declares “That tree threw an apple at the ground, trees hate the ground!” Ignoring outside forces completely.
    He’s not wrong on individual points, but the whole thing is incredibly myopic.
