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 won the primary because corporate media was pushing him and demonizing Bernie for socialism.

Not really. He won because people were sick of Trump and he barely won. If there was no COVID, Trump likely would've won reelection.

Progressive candidates lost the primary for the same reason Biden won the general. This was a referendum on Trump, and people were voting for what they assumed was the best shot at getting him out of office. People hated Trump, they didn't like Biden. nbcnews.com/politics/2020-el…
This can just as easily be viewed as evidence going the other way. People voted Biden because they hated Trump, then voted against Dems downballot because Dems just weren't that interesting to them.
Actually if you go back and look at the retrospectives from earlier this year its clear even in the primary people were voting AGAINST Trump, not for what they really wanted. nbcnews.com/politics/2020-el…
