The best alternative [to Joe Biden] from an electability standpoint would be for the Democrats to run Sanders, an authentically progressive, social-democratish neo-and green-New Dealer running without and indeed against Big Business sponsorship and (imagine) in accord with majority left-of-center public policy opinion.

It’s about serving elite corporate and financial interests and those interests would prefer to see a creeping fascist and eco-exterminist Neanderthal in the White House over a genuine “populist progressive.”
