Almost nobody wants this and there will be electoral consequences if the left decides to die on this hill.

Copying Trump's racism is not going to do Democrats any good. Yes, you are talking about one thing, but it's only part of the larger narrative by some "Democrats" that the Democratic Party should be more like Trump on issues of race and call out "the blacks" and "the Mexicans" and "the orientals" on stealing jobs from white men.

When did I or anyone else say that the Democrats should emulate Trump on the subject of race? All I said was that we shouldn't defend incoherent, pseudo-academic drivel when close to a supermajority of voters are opposed to it.

This is gaslighting and nothing else.

Oh no! That term you have, one might say, appropriated from these woke types. They won't be happy.

He stole it from a classic Ingrid Bergman film.

First, Democrats are leftists.

Had I been drinking something while reading this, it would be all over the screen right now. Kindly call me back when Mark Warner starts talking about redistributing the means of production.

I'm sick of this attitude that only the far-left can be considered leftist.  In the real world, Democrats are a left-wing party.

It's just gaslighting. Maybe by the standards of socialists on the internet the Democrats aren't leftwing, much like how to crazy Trump supporters the Republicans aren't rightwing enough, but in reality Democrats are the dominant leftwing party in this country and Biden is a leftwing president. He's not an extremist but he's on the left.

A political party that until recently considered a public option for healthcare to be a radical position is not leftist.

It's relative. And besides, there have been prominent Democrats pushing for universal healthcare forever, the most obvious being Bill and Hillary in the 90s and Obama in 09-10.
