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!

The better way to say it is the race shouldn't have even been this close, and in terms of demographics the blue is losing ground. People are more polarized than ever, but one side just happened to have more voters.

Dem's won the Presidency by being "anyone but Trump" And, they lost 10 seats in the House by being "moderate" Fox News Poll Shows 72% of Voters Want a Government-Run Healthcare Plan Medicare 4 All keeps seats

The only people saying that are moderates, for obvious reasons. Based on Congressional races results, there's a much better than even chance that Biden would have won bigger had he been more progressive.

EXACTLY! And it's really time to stop using fear to justify not doing the right thing for people and the planet! Big problems require big changes!

To all my liberal friends celebrating that Trump lost and Biden won. A word of warning... Trump was never the problem, he was a symptom. You created him with your sneering contempt of the white working class.

Biden will continue on the low road for USA with corporate Democratic party policies. He's no reformer. He's a DINO, who will be fought every day by 75 million angry Trump supporters. Give the people Medicare 4 All, and public anger would be tempered by real interest overnight.

#StatusQuoJoe Biden won cuz ppl wanted #DonTheCon Trump gone. Period. Only a few voted FOR Biden, most just voted to Stop 45's dictatorship. Progressives kept their seats who support #MedicareForAll. Some moderates lost theirs for not. #BigUs #Progressives #NotMeUs #PeoplesParty

Disagree Marianne- congressional races aside look at California and the propositions - the most progressive ones got down in one of the bluest states of the country . I do believe that with this younger tik tok generation the pendulum may swing but it’s not now

Doesn’t it bother you that he has 133+billionaires many from Geo W Bush’s administration. Prepare yourself for war. Even Trump wanted the troops home from Afghanistan but Pelosi shut it down. MSNBC & CNN are propaganda. DISNEY OWNS THEM. THEY ARE NOT REAL JOURNALISTS!
