So why won't Biden move to the left again?
It's like that's never mentioned as an option these days, but isn't it easier to convince one person to compromise than tens of millions of people?
Because he is right wing and the current system is working in his favor.
The worst thing that could happen to the democrats is a competent opponent. They need trump in order to win so post election you’re so burned up from worrying about hard fascism you become more docile towards the shit were left with.
This is, i believe, why some rich fuckers donate to both sides. They cant purchase a president but they can purchase a party nominee and by making one of two choices completely unacceptable we are forced to take the alternative.
He has moved to the left, just not enough to be called progressive.
He's pandering to the center, yeah, but only looking at the regressive things he's done over the past four years as though that's all that matters is part of the reason they pander to the center instead of you.
He was pulled to the left in the 2020 primary by Bernie...
But then just kind of half assed it when he had the House and Senate, what progress has happened, Biden has had almost zero involvement in.
Between Israel and the southern border, he's further right than he started the 2020 primary. I never dreamt he'd be taking either of these positions. I thought by now even he'd draw a line with Israel, and never thought a Dem would pull this border shit and get sued by the ACLU
And I want to point out, as close as 2020 was, I don't know why people are acting like this time Biden can ignore the left.
