I don't know why you would think that of all people on this forum, I would be a supporter of "extreme left politics". I think the actual far left posters on this forum would probably laugh at that characterization. What I found silly about the article you posted was the notion that this suggested some sort of "waking up" on the Democratic side, or some change of course. No matter what happened in this election, there was going to be a fight afterwards between the establishment of the party and the fringe of the party, and the establishment voices you quoted were going to say the same exact things. Had Biden won 50 states, they would have said, "See? The Candidate of "back to normal", the centrist establishment Democrat, won the day in dramatic fashion. He doesn't need to listen to the fringe of the party, because this type of win demonstrates that they don't represent what people want."
It's just inevitable, predictable spin from people who were always going to provide that spin. That is why I roll my eyes at it.
