I really feel this article underrates the Congressional races happening at the same time and more of a comparison to the British and French elections. What I take from this is that the strategies available to the Democrats are constrained by the two party system, and almost completely hamstrung in the presidential election with a candidate who is incumbent. But it would be more interesting to compare what’s happening among the legislature where there are (or were before primaries) more candidates and more likelihood of creative alliances.
The big flaw of this article is that it compares legislative elections to presidential elections
In France too, presidential elections end up in a duel between far right and an unpopular and disconnected candidate
