So the moderate Democrats are the grownups, and progressives are just a bunch of rambunctious kids who don’t understand and need to realize that the grownups know to make everything right because they always have and everything is so good. Got that, kids?

He’s the President and he’s allowed to have his opinion.

I don't know about "grownups" but when ..what.. 85% of the country and, maybe 75% of Dems do NOT believe in the degree of socialist programs in the progressive agenda, well.. ???

I’d have more respect for him if he’d just said “I’m corrupt” and been done with it. Imagine calling moderate reforms a “socialist agenda”. Incredible how quickly he caved to right wing rhetoric. He needs to resign.

Oh, and I prefer to call them “corrupt” or “radical right wing Democrats”. They don’t get to stand against the policies supported by a majority of Americans (as well as the standard in other countries) and be called “moderate”. You and Sanders are examples of true “moderates”.

So, why do the moderate Democrats keep losing, especially severely underperforming in what should have been a blue wave last year in the middle of a pandemic depression under the worst president ever elected?

This is exactly how we’ll get another trump (or trump-esque) presidency
