Strib has a well-meaning editorial about "elelctability." It minces words. Or it fails to understand KISS.

Link. Title: Democratic Party divide: Moderates wield 'electability' as a weapon - I'm a progressive, a Bernie Sanders supporter, and this is why I can't cross over.

Here's how the "electabilituy" issue should be analyzed: Trump is a snake, we all can agree to that. Biden is a weasel. Bernie is a mongoose. Don't try sending a weasel to do a mongoose job. It's even a difficult thing, for a mongoose. But a weasel? For that job? Forget it. It won't work.

Look at how it failed in 2016.

Now, do you understand? Don't nominate the weasel.
