No we haven’t. There’s still that big ELECTION we have to win. Please vote on November 5th so we can reach the other end of the bridge.
You’re not wrong, but winning the election isn’t the bridge the article is talking about. There’s room for both conversations in the world, and talking about the potential shift taking place in The Democratic Party may help them to win more elections.

Joe Biden promised to be a bridge
No he didn’t. The whole “Joe Biden transitional candidate who won’t run for a second term” story was invented from whole cloth by Politico and then the neoliberal media just went with it to try to mollify worried progressives who didn’t want a conservative president for 8 years.
Biden never said any such thing, refuted it whenever asked, and stubbornly held on for a month for his own sake when it became clear to even most of his most ardent supporters that he was bound to lose and needed to go.
This phony celebration of Biden as heroically self-sacrificing is just cringy and weird.
That’s not fair. A president giving up power is a big deal. It shows integrity. Do you see Trump EVER doing anything even remotely as selfless?
Biden didn’t have to step down. He could have driven everything into the ground to hold on to power, which btw pretty much any other politican WOULD have, but he didn’t.
Hey, motherjones, you’re better than this shit.
Mother Jones would be turning in her grave knowing what the magazine bearing her name fights for these days.
The bridge Biden was talking about was becoming openly right wing instead of covert. They have crossed that bridge
