Incredible synthesis of how procedural liberalism became the arena rather than the competitor. That distinction between liberalism lacking an anchor versus neoliberalism having libertarian philosophy plus shareholder primacy clarifies alot I've been trying to articulate for years. The point about Democrats offering policies instead of vision really hits, especially with Build Back Better, it was just a list of good things with no unifying story. That's why nobody fought for it when Manchin gutted it, there was no ideolgy to defend.
