So because he’s not “progressive enough” he should be thrown under the bus and we get Trump?
Ever wonder if this attitude is a self fulfilling prophecy? Biden is not the enemy here and should be celebrated. Corporatism is the problem and uses MSM to gaslight the working class into believing things that are not good for them. Stop tilting against the windmill.
It's because the DNC is completely corrupt and ruin this country for a few million given by Hillary and now Biden.
I fear, that you are spouting hot garbage. You've been listening to too mich Russian propaganda.
Uh ok. Yeah don't listen the the former head of the DNC in 2016.

No, but it sucks that this is the best we can get.
Does it suck as bad as the worst we can get? Because current progressive messaging is guaranteeing the worst outcome, not the best.
If all we choose between is bad or worse I don’t see how things will get better.
I’m still voting Biden but I’m also planning for the collapse. Cause that’s where we’re headed no matter who wins.
In that case, I'm voting for Bernie to vote my heart and letting the chips burn where they may.
Bernie says to vote for Biden but you do you
It's pretty lame to base your vote on an anonymous Internet comment. Do better.
I refuse, and you will suffer the consequences. Again.
I'm voting for Hillary because it's still Her turn!
I get it and can’t really disagree. But if we want more progressive policy we have to talk with our friends and family more enthusiastically about even small steps to change the narrative. I find very few people say anything positive about Biden, even students who have been given relief for thousands of dollars! What the fuck.
Boomers will never allow it to happen as long as they're alive. They voted against progressive and leftist efforts in the 2020 primaries with fucking glee.
I agree. Especially since boomers own a huge percentage of the wealth in the US.
Yeah, it's exactly like that. Biden, the Democratic Party must do better, or Trump is going to steamroll this country into a hellish nightmare. Its a threat and you can clutch pearls and get trump or demand better.
Preach! Let these fools understand some true wisdom.
If you don't need our votes to win the general election then ignore us. If you need our votes then fucking pay attention: don't elect procorporate trash in the primaries.
Yes.
If you're acknowledging you need our votes to get him elected in the general then guess what, it means whoever voted for him in the primaries is a selfish piece of shit. They intentionally voted against progressive and leftist efforts and now they expect our votes in the general? They can get fucked.
