"To limit Biden's harms, leftists have to take over the Democratic Party and the progressive movement, so that he's hemmed in by his power base. To limit Trump's harms, leftists have to identify the fracture lines in the right coalition and drive deep wedges into them, shattering his power base."
Emphasizing the right's forced-birth, anti-birth control, anti-divorce goals is key. Only the tiniest minority want those things. Drive that wedge!
