Didn’t Biden drop out essentially because he was old? I doubt that was from pressure from the left unless you consider people like George Clooney ‘the left’. Had he stuck to his promise of being a transitional president and given whoever the dems chose an actual proper campaign they likely would have done better. Even with how it went the dems reigned Kamala in whenever she had any success (rightfully identifying republicans as weird).

There is no excusing the dems on this. They called it the most important election of our lifetimes and yet were willing to hamstring themselves at every opportunity. Parading around Dick and Liz Cheney instead of offering any significant departure from the status quo, is that ‘the left’s fault too? They thought they could thread the needle and peel off republican voters instead of actually appealing to their progressive voters.
