Joe Biden managed to do what liberals in India, the U.K., and a whole host of other countries could not: defeat a right-wing, populist incumbent. Some thoughts inspired by a 3:00 am conversation with the great @psen9

He underperformed polls. But compared to what’s happened in other countries, the Democrat’s victory is a remarkable achievement.
