The Primaries are Starting to Clear Things

It’s early, but we have now two elections behind us. And at this point, we know that we have a split party. However, the Progressive Wing is starting to edge the Neoliberals out. It is close, don’t get me wrong. It is also very early.

However, there are a few things clear now. The bottom tier likely has no room left. Granted, both Michael Bloomberg and Tom Steyer are not putting their eggs in these two states. Bloomberg is trying to buy his election in the Super Tuesday contest, which is very unusual.

Tom Bennet and Andrew Yang have already bowed out. This is hardly surprising. That said, Yang has had an outside effect by starting a critical conversation into the future of work and basic income. I expect this to continue, and perhaps he should consider running for Congress, or the next president should appoint him as Secretary of Labor.

Bennet can say in the Senate, and try to make his difference there.

Now to Joe Biden. He did terribly, in one coming at fourth, the other at fifth. And neither was even close, they were distant. He is a second-tier candidate, and likely he should consider dropping out. If he is not, his donors will make that clear to him.

in my mind, Biden will never be president, and that is ok. He is part of the Neoliberal wing that took over the party…
