The Democratic Party crushed its own populist wing to stop Bernie Sanders, propped up Biden despite knowing he was in decline, and got stuck with a VP who struggles to speak off the cuff. All to stop the left—and now the far right is back in power.
NYT actually published this sentence, which asks us to take baseless moral panic bullshit seriously as a reasonable position.
