In this episode we discuss the 2020 General Election results. Although Democrats defeated Trump, we argue the victory is bitter sweet. Democrats did not win their anticipated "blue wave." Instead, they LOST seats in the House, are likely to not take the Senate, squeaked out a victory against Trump--an incredibly unpopular and divisive candidate--and flipped NO state legislatures. Were it not for the defeat of Trump, it would have been an absolute disaster for Democrats. Although winning the presidency, Biden has effectively been denied a chance to govern. For instance, Mitch McConnell's Senate and the conservative Supreme Court will basically strike down or block anything Biden does. Unless the 2022 mid-terms give Democrats the power they need to govern, the Biden presidency will be four years of partisan gridlock, thanks to Republican obstruction. Who is to blame? Well, of course Republicans for their senseless pursuit of power at the expense of material and social benefits for the American people. But Democrats are to blame, too. Biden was supposed to be the most "electable" candidate. If so, why did Democrats squeak out a victory against Trump, and essentially get no down ballot victories? We argue it's because Democrats have abandoned progressive material politics that seek to benefit everyday people's lives. Democrats MUST take on more progressive politics, like universal health care, universal basic income, and housing as a human right, or else they will continue to become what the Republican party once was, and the Republican party will erode into a free market fascist cult.
