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?
Biden to NYT: Progressives don't like me because I'm not prepared to adopt the ‘socialist agenda’ @MargaretHoover and @PaulBegala discuss

Isn't it crystal clear that Biden/Dem "leadership" are just pre-Gingrich, moderate Republicans? Look at their actions, and who their friends are. It's that simple.

When a so-called Democratic strategist is using socialism in a Republican party-framing talking point that the Democratic party is no longer "democratic." The party, on a national level, is finished - and Nina Turner or anyone else voted in isn't going to fix it. It's irreparable

Yes, to what you say.

You can call why you want. Progress requires planning for the future. We’re recognizing that change for the betterment of all can happen faster. Peacefully, but we demand it.

Great, Biden is even saying “socialist agenda” implying that it is a bad thing or something to have an agenda about.

Well, “children grow up” & move away, too. Biden thinks he is playing it politically safe. I don’t think our Country can afford more wasted time on safe politics.

We Progressives agreed to vote for Biden & not sit-out the election, with the understanding that our agenda would be seriously taken into active consideration. I don’t like The Biden Bite on the hand that helped him get elected over Trump.

I really would like to know one instance when "moderates" have accomplished anything positive for the people of this country. Throughout history, all the steps forward were forced by those who were considered agitators or radicals.

Biden almost lost the election and he wants to be like, "fuck off kids, don't need you!"
