I disagree that "the right is fractured." The US political right has never been more unified, and its unifier is Trump. Trump is wildly popular among Republicans, and all the old seams have been closed: religious vs business, populist vs rich, etc.

The left is legitimately fractured, but maybe it's not as bad as it looks. Sound and fury on social media in the Bernie camp, yet the party coalesced strongly around Biden.

I'd like to hear the case for a left "political upheaval." Where will it come from? Bernie's theory was that youth would vote en masse, and that did not happen.

You're just observing the fact that the Democrats had a primary fight this year and the Republicans didn't because Trump is the incumbent.

The problem the left is having right now is articulating what it is they actually want to do. Their main rallying cry for some time has been that they're not Trump, but then what are they?

Not being Trump might just be enough.

A vote for "mystery box" is a vote for Not That Other Guy.

It seems less than inspiring.
