Nicholas is Al Pacino-ing his way through the election: I mean, in very broad strokes, yeah. I think that there is a lot that wouldn't have happened in this admin if it weren't for the coalition that includes the left.

I think most people still understand the stakes and would vote for Biden’s head just floating in a jar if it was required to keep the fascists out

Honestly thought the Times poll would be worse

I think one of the fascinating things about all of this is seeing how people further left have been some of the most clear eyed about acknowledging this, and also giving the administration credit for good things they have done, while being critical on other issues.

Ironically, centrist liberals can be some of the least pragmatic people around simply because they're used to getting what they want.

And the left is used to never getting what they want.

I mean, in very broad strokes, yeah. I think that there is a lot that wouldn't have happened in this admin if it weren't for the coalition that includes the left.
