      Yeah idk. If you check my comment history you will see this conversation getting played from several angles. Obviously trump is worse than Biden, but Trump being that bad means if we all agree to fall in line then Biden has no incentive to to improve

      We could play the slow game and slowly install progressive people and hopefully stuff will be better in 50 years, but with the wealth inequality since Reagan I feel like we’ve already tried the slow game. It’s hard to tell if things are actually improving.

      I’m just so sick of watching Bernie be on the right side of history every time. Motherfucker is actually literally batting a thousand

      And yet he’s not our prez. Shit sucks

        There is no slow game, people have had the same arguments for over a hundred years. The only way is let them keep losing elections. Either they bend to the will of their constituents or they are replaced by a party that will.

          Yeah but people love to say “if Trump wins democracy is over for good”. Idk if I want another four years of that but I do think Biden needs an actual incentive to change.

              He’s already tried to overthrow the election and had stated he will be a dictator. He will certainly try

        he’ll never be our president if democrats don’t change and his biggest way he can help the situation is by giving very public and persistent voice to the criticisms he’s levied against biden during his last 2 presidential campaigns

          He did release a video recently criticizing him at the start, but then falling in line after. Biden won the primary and Bernie isn’t splitting the vote. It’s too late cuz primary is over. Gotta go Biden due to FPTP

            bernie’s biggest potential in this situation is calling out biden as an ally on his record and past support as publicly and loudly as he can and still saying that he supports biden.

            i plan on voting for biden and i will only blame democrats; not other leftest; if he loses like the polls say that he will.
