I think you're missing Ms. Martinchek's point. "Standing against evil" is all very well, but what are the Democrats *for*?

By nominating Biden, who has no real message or theme, they watered down their brand to the point that it was just anti-Trump/anti-hate.

You can't characterize this election as a rejection of socialism because actual socialism wasn't on the ballot.

You are 100% correct that this election was primarily about fear and ignorance, but Ms. Martincheck's analysis of what comes next and why is dead on.
