This reflects how as the Republican Party has become more extreme in its rhetoric and cynical manipulation of the system, the Democrats appear to have responded by attempting to take over and hold the middle ground. During the debate, Biden repudiated, not just the extreme rightwing race-baiting and hypocrisy, but also what Trump described as the “radical left” Green New Deal. To his supporters and party, Trump is undoubtedly the Keyser Soze of US politics. The Democrats' centrism may win them the election and the White House. But unless they have the will to do what the other guy wouldn’t, in this case, to stand on principle, they will have already lost the war.
