I think a lot of people (Joe included) think that Donald Trump is the root of the problem, not the manifestation of the problem. Even if you get rid of Trump, his base remains. And even if they don't vote for someone like Nikki Haley or Ted Cruz, they will remain active locally. They'll keep running subtly racist (sometimes even overtly racist) candidates and within 15-20 years, we'll have Trump 2.0--and the new guy won't be as incompetent or bumbling as Trump is. You know what that means.
So Biden isn't the end all be all, I think he's the bridge from "worst case scenario" to "could be better" and progressive ought to be ready to build that bridge to "good" instead of "normal"--because normal wasn't good. One of Bernie's biggest problems is that he inspires a lot of energy from young people, but those young people don't vote or run for office as often as they should. That's why I'm more focused on coalition building than just getting a message out there.
