I will vote for Joe Biden and I want desperately for him to win. But for establishment Democrats to talk as though that will fix everything or as though Dems haven’t enabled the emergence of this horrifying authoritarian wave, will neither solve the problem nor even help him win.

1) Literally no Democrats believe Biden is going to"fix everything"; 2) The people most to blame for this horrifying slide into authoritarianism are Republicans, not the Democrats who at least try make health care a human right.

Nobody mobilized to defeat Bernie. People preferred other candidates, specifically the one who won. The unwelcome fact remains that M4A is unpopular once people realize their taxes will go up to pay for it.

You’re right. They didn’t mobilize. They made a few phone calls.

To whom? Who did they call? Clyburne, to get his endorsement? Neither Sanders or Warren were ever strong with older Black voters and there is no path to a Democratic victory without that constituency.
