As usual, this is a well informed and rather comprehensive overview. Nonetheless, I would complain that you, along with most other commentators, are missing an important point: Since the debate the USA has entered a vibrant period of active democracy where issues of leadership and policy are undergoing a loud and vibrant debate. This debate (on the Democratic side, at least) is patriotism at its best. Whatever the outcome (which I may personally disagree with) this is active, open politics, or at least the best our tilted system can produce. If the eventual decisions do not produce a solution that works to defeat MAGA Republicans, it feeds the patriotic energy that will be necessary to restore democracy.
