Gonna agree with him on this general take actually. It was progressives (and I'm referring to the obnoxious loudmouths mostly, some of which were more your CNN corporate talking shitheads than progressives) that lost their cool after the debate and decided to amplify all of Biden's weaknesses directly afterward, showing little mercy for his advanced age or his lifelong speech impediment. It was also progressives helping drive down his popularity even before the debate due to his age and his stance on Israel/Palestine. From the standpoint of someone that just wanted Democrats to stay in power, it very much looked like progressives were trying to undermine Biden's credibility just so they could say they were right about the DNC being wrong all along. I think there was a substantial part of the younger liberal population that were too begrudging to give him a chance to even earn their full support. This is without him making any policy blunders in consideration of the governmental makeup he inherited (say what you will about Afghanistan which no one was talking about anymore). For the most part, it's all because he couldn't speak eloquently and because he refused to take a stronger stance against Israel when it was not a popular move either governmentally or socially in the country. Then you get to election day and find out that many dumbshit common Americans haven't even been paying enough attention to know who the Democratic nominee is and go with the name that sounds recognizable. So yeah, the know-it-all progressives can take all that passion and shove it straight up their asses.

This is like blaming the progressives for Trudeau being viewed awfully prior to Trump's crusade.
