DemocraticFuture

Saying Biden is progressive is wrong, I am sorry. I do not own the label, but it is simply not representative for Biden. It is like calling him a Nazi and when people say you are wrong telling them "you do not own the label, I think he is a Nazi and that's that". He is a democrat and maybe a liberal, but his policies do not fit the description of what most progressives consider "progressive". It is more honest and respectable to own up to what you are than to lie. It does not mean he is bad.

Thank you for understanding that 2020 is not 2016!!! Thank you for understanding, no matter how upsetting, that Hillary was unpopular to voters in Michigan and Wisconsin. Thank you for understanding that Biden is outperforming Hillary and could actually be the turnout candidate. It’s like you actually understand politics and governing and aren’t brainwashed by an old white man telling you exactly what you want to hear.

silly of anon to ask that question, Biden's already a republican in all but name and you've been rallying behind him for months, pretty sure you'd love a republican vp

It's kinda sad when you can say Biden is merely a sexual harasser, not an assaulter. But you know, Bernie was the real sexist in the race :)

Joe Biden is not progressive. Is his platform more progressive than some prior democratic platforms? Sure. But you can't just label it "progressive". The platform falls short of many progressive goals, such as single-payer and green new deal. And that is fine, clearly Joe Biden won and we should accept that his ideology won. But to call it progressive seems dishonest. Not being progressive is not bad. It is just not an accurate label for him, and it feels like appropriation of the term.

Police Reform.

Would you be fine voting for Biden even if he picked a Republican to be his VP?

If Joe wanted progressives to vote for him, maybe he should introduce actually interesting policies :)

Biden is a horrible candidate... He is weak, has too many fishy dealings behind the scenes, and is waaaay to the right of even Hillary. No way he can beat Trump unless the economy totally crashes.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but uuuuuh

Any Bernie supporter who was expecting Biden to completely collapse in a one-on-one debate must be very disappointed right now.
