People are saying Biden won by having a moderate message, so progressives need to be very careful. But there is no evidence Biden won by having a moderate message. Based on Congressional races results, there’s just as good a chance he would’ve won by a bigger margin being bolder.

45 million voters hold college loan debt that’s crippling them. How would it have been bad politics to tell them that if you elect us we’ll cancel those debts? Especially since a good argument is made for how much it would stimulate the economy for the money to be in their hands!

He is showing his true colors. He is a moderate Republican (at best.) He continues to punch left and tell us to take it. As he moves further and further right.

the trad Dems need to think of themselves as the smartest guys in the room - we have to make them think it’s their idea. Key socdem policies polled as winners then advocated hard - minus the Soc languaging? I can live with that.

And if the DNC was worth anything they would KNOW. Sad they don't have a finger on the pulse of America.

93% of Reps voted for Trump in 2020. People AREN'T going to change their socio-poli identities from Cons to Libs bc of polite rhetoric. But they WILL vote to change their material circumstances - look at measures to increase wages, legal marij, & family leave. Also, M4A polls.

Which people are saying this. "People say" is a Trump line...

I'm glad he won! But, he won, in-part because he had huge support from major progressives such as #bernie and #aoc fighting for him. A lot of progressive trust has been put on his shoulders to now meet progressives and moderates in the middle.
