If job#1 is to beat Dump, can Biden do it?

If job#1 is to defeat Dump, and as Wayne described Biden as a "doddering old man completely under the control of folks like Jamie Dimon,"is it our fault for pointing that out what will help Dump win or the establishment's fault for supporting an inadequate candidate and scaring voters into it? Is it our fault that younger voters, after being told their agenda is pie in the sky, likely won't support Biden now in numbers needed to win? That is exactly what Rising and Uygur discuss in this video. It seems more of a deliberate establishment strategy to silence the progressive wing of the Party than anything else.

Cenk does make a good point at the end, that since younger voters just aren't coming out in numbers for Bernie to win, even if they don't come out in the general election there are plenty of older voters frightened of change that it might be enough to get "nothing will fundamentally change" Joe over the hump.

Note: Although I think Cenk is wrong that the Party will dump Biden at the convention for someone else. That would be a blatant omission of what they already know, that Biden is inadequate to the task, and another pick would surely lose to Dump. They made their bed and now have to lie in it for better or worse.
