With the neolibs once again up top, the opportunities for the left are down ticket

Joe Biden might want  to tell us what he's going to do as president. From 2016 the regulars should have learned that "Not Trump" is not enough. If Biden is so electable, a big if, it won't matter what progressives do. But it is disheartening that once again the two major parties are offering a miserable choice. A lot of folks who care about issues like climate change, economic justice and endless war have serious doubts about Biden's candidacy that are not going to appeased by platitudes and generalities. My guess is that many activists will find their energies better spent on local, state and congressional races where they'll be able to find candidates more in tune with their concerns.
