Some people's perspectives on life have been shaped by the experience of having a lot of older people lie to them their whole lives. People who don't see themselves ever being able to afford a house might find it hard to be swayed by analogies of the house is on fire so don't remodel the kitchen. I know people who rent rooms that don't even have a kitchen. Some of the "eat the rich" types would like to see the likes of Bloomberg and Steyer as side dishes even if Trump is the main course.
Very interesting that Joe Klein would talk about Humphrey in 1968 when 4 years later Dems nominated McGovern to shake things up.
More recently, after relatively sensible Romney failed badly the GOP nominated a steaming pile of bovine excrement to shake things up.
Calm down Boomers, I have no problem voting Biden in November. Every Democrat should take a strategic pause now and then and try to see things from the perspective of a very different demographic of Democrat: by income, age, race, gender, or ideology.
