“Rather than insisting on “Medicare for All” - Sanders’ trademark universal, government-funded health care plan -or the climate-change-fighting Green New Deal, Our Revolution is focusing on the more modest alternatives endorsed by President Joe Biden.” 🤦🏻‍♀️ apnews.com/article/joe-biden…

This isn't really true ... Biden won the Democratic Nomination ... not because of policy ... but ... because those at the top intervened on his behalf!

One of many reasons why I am no longer a Democrat.

I consider myself a pragmatic progressive but Biden sucks

I'm just gonna leave this 👇 here, since Biden has done nothing to take us out of the conditions that got Trump elected in the first place.

The charitable view is that they're pragmatic. The skeptical view is that they've been assimilated into the establishment. With their overall toothlessness and "Mama Bear Pelosi" rhetoric, the scale of probability is tipping towards the latter.

Remember vote for Joe then push him left?? Reality is, vote for joe then move right even further.

“Pragmatic progressive” = “Compassionate conservative”

It makes sense for Bernie to focus on what can be accomplished. He lost (thxs Biden voters). Activists and advocates need to bring the progressive demands. Marches, though, are not going to make a difference. Chaining yourself to a Senator's desk, sit-ins, etc, more likely. #M4A
