Biden The U.S. Brezhnev?

A lot has changed in the last couple of weeks.  Bernie Sanders has lost momentum as U.S. Democrats seem to be choosing someone who would uphold the status quo and not change things too much.  This has led to some comparisons to Soviet leader Leonid Brehnev who was chosen by the Soviet politburo to keep things the same instead of reforming, which ultimately led to the collapse and disintegration of the Soviet Union.  A return to the status quo does not alleviate the conditions that led to a Trump election and such a victory may be short-lived.
