The Pennsylvania Democrat recalled his time serving as a Hillary Clinton surrogate in 2016, even after he supported Bernie Sanders in the primary.

The fact that we can’t endorse him without comparing him to the dumpster fire on the opposite side is why we don’t like him. If “better than Trump” is all you’ve got going for you, we might as well vote for a pile of wet socks.
He promised not to upset the capitalist apple cart, and he hasn’t. He’s not a progressive.
Strong disagree. I’ve found Biden to far, far exceed my expectations for him. I’ve been very happy with his presidency, above and beyond the fact that he’s not Trump.
That said, I’m curious which specific policies of his you disagree with. I have several, but I’d like to see yours.

Experience Experience Experience. We needed an adult. We needed someone to come in, clean up a bunch of messes by making some tough calls and not just waiting around for perfect. He’s greatly exceeded that imo.
Is there a single Republican candidate that progressives would support over Biden?
I look at it as Biden will pass any progressive legislation given to him; he isn’t the problem. Instead, I would look at the tons of legislator positions and ask them what they are doing to be progressive at the state and local levels. Lock those people in so on the next election, Democratic presidential candidates will need progressive support.
And prep the House and Senate so progressive legislation can get passed. Biden has only vetoed 6 bills in office; I don’t see him being the logjam for progressive legislation.
Biden in the primary:
Biden defenders after Biden can’t even get Democratic Senators to support the platform:
Biden doesn’t want to pass progressive legislation, if he had any inclination towards progressive he wouldn’t have stood against union railroad workers.
He’s a right leaning centrist through and through, it’s just that in America that looks “progressive” when we’re used our right wing party being progressively more fascist over the last few decades
The bill he passed went through with a veto proof majority in the Senate and there is no indication he wouldn’t have passed the bill to enforce union demands if it got to his desk.
Why not challenge the Democrats in Congress who voted to end the strike?
Lol no one wants to answer your first question.
This is essentially the whole crux of it. Everyone is in here arguing positions that don’t exist with hypothetical people that also don’t actually exist. It’s just fringe shit being magnified by media.
