    But far, far more importantly than either of them were their defenders/ apologists in media, both social and traditional, who were the real barrier to moving these candidates to better more popular positions that could have gotten them elected.

    Let’s be fair here. The candidates just didn’t want to espouse better more popular positions, and neither of them could run on anything democrats ran on in 2020. Not after democrats wrecked their credibility by reaching across the aisle to help republicans block BBB and the minimum wage increase.
