    In early November, when polls showed Biden trailing Trump in five of six swing states, NBC News repeated the conventional wisdom that too many primary filing deadlines had passed.

    Vox reports that MAGA zealots’ threats of violence against elected officials and their families have silenced any intraparty dissent and likely saved Trump from impeachment.

    Biden is working to stoke fear, too, not from himself — he’s a more formidable political player than he gets credit for, but he’s not planning to sentence any of his rivals to death, as Trump has openly fantasized.

    “Biden, for all his flaws, represents a compromise between the activist left of the party and its moderate center,” writes Washington Post columnist Ruy Teixeira.

    Still, those I’ve observed — Shirley Chisholm, Liddy Dole, Hillary Clinton, and the unabashedly left-wing New Ager Marianne Williamson — have not apparently confused qualification with irreplaceability.

    With third-party candidates Cornel West, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and, potentially, Joe Manchin in the mix, we need another Environmental Protection Act to rid the election of these billowing emissions of toxic masculinity.
