It's beyond me why any Democrats are apparently willing to even consider giving up on an election that's still a 50-50 proposition, a year away, and in which your preferred candidate can not only boast a number of structural advantages such as his incumbency, but is currently trailing by a mere 2 points if the polls are to be believed. But oh well, I guess you don't truly believe it's "the most important election of our lifetimes" after all.A progressive should want to lose 2024, which will likely turn out to be another poisoned chalice. Then, they will get their version of a tea party
That's exactly what people said back in 2016 as well, however. And then the party's primary electorate ended up nominating a milquetoast octogenarian centrist four years onward, despite her loss. They voted for Biden precisely because they "misinterpreted" Clinton's 2016 loss as "evidence" that they needed to "moderate", in order to win back the (historically Democratic-voting) white, working-class men in America's industrial heartland that they'd bled away to Trump.
