Anyone to the left of liberals who thinks you can play by their rules as a way to win is a fool.
The way I see it, there's not 150 million progressives in this country, so we're never gonna get progressive laws passed without having a coalition. You need progressive ppl, liberals, moderates, etc. to support each other instead tearing each other down. I support pretty much everybody that's to the left of me
Medicare 4 All
Green New Deal
Universal Basic Income
☝️ I support all of those. I would have supported Sanders if he won the primary.
But I believe in democracy. 80 million ppl voted for Biden. What I'm not gonna do is tear down Biden for not being progressive "enough". For the record, I don't care about Biden's personal life or any politician outside of their policies BTW.
Public option for Obamacare
Carbon-free power by 2035, net-zero carbon by 2050
$15 minimum wage
☝️ This is Biden's policy. I think these are still good
And the narrative that democrats and republicans are the same, democrats don't care, it doesn't matter who's in charge, Biden = Trump etc. really just annoys me more than anything
I have to agree
and tbh, even thogh biden is a centrist, compared to every previous president, this is extrmely progressive policy that he wants
do yall really think Obama would be able to support these policies in 2008? We were coming off the Blue Dogs Dinos being the only ones in charge of the Part for 20 years. Like do you think Obama could have talked about supporting trans rights in 2008? Only until Bernies 2016 run did the Third Way dems start to face real pressure

yes exactly
Idk what's hard to understand about this; liberals do not make coalitions with those to their left. They actively oppose them. This whole idea about democracy is a sham too. It assumes every voter is 100% educated and not subject to media propaganda. How tf is it a democracy when the major liberal news outlets went on air and lied about Bernie and his policies from day 1?
you're just saying what we already know
because 150 million people voted for things you don't agree with, it has to be invalidated somehow
even if we had direct democracy where every single person would vote, and people voted NOT to abolish prison and the military, you would still reject it
we know you don't like democracy thats why we disagree fundamentally
“Glad theres people like AOC and Biden in power when it's time for leaders to step up”
Not many people who support the Russian Revolution would make that statement lol
Don’t think Lenin would be telling people how glad he is for Biden if he was alive
Oh and Bernie Sanders supports Biden, and he's in the Senate working extremely hard to get his bills passed for the same reason I said
Sanders and AOC still do their jobs faithfully even when they didn't get what they wanted, even for people that didn't vote for them, because their end goal is awlays to help people. That's why they're good leaders

You have no clue what democracy is
If you think what we have here in the US is democracy, you're an idiot. Even worse that your whole political project appears to be "vote blue no matter who"

blue no matter who who said that
i said liberals, moderates and progressives need to support each other
blue no matter who who said that

In reality that last sentence always ends up as "progressives need to support moderates " while liberals try to destroy anyone even slightly to their left

synopsis wants you guys to each form your own political party so republicans win.

Nope
Biden did a lot actually
Approved emergency declaration in Texas over a week ago so FEMA could take over
Ordered FEMA to provide disaster relief, generators, fuel, meals, water, emergency care and sheltering
Going to TX this week, in person
Glad theres people like AOC and Biden in power when it's time for leaders to step up
Trump would never. He'd use this situation to negotiate some dumb ass republican agenda.
