It's more about not being upset of shammed because someone calls your a communist or socialist. If not for them we wouldn't have Social Security, Civil Right Acts, Medicare, and a whole lot more.
    Do you not realize that the VP he just picked was one of the 14 Senate co-sponsors of Medicare 4 All?

    Despite Biden's wishes, M4All will be on the platform. It will be the most progressive platform ever seen.

    And Biden can even make political hay off it with his own base by admitting he listened to people, and changed his mind about something, even if he hesitated. These are the SAME PEOPLE who had no theoretical problem with gay people in the 90s and early 00s, and then came out as for it when pushed by....you guessed it, progressive activists....

    ...oh and a prominent conservative lawyer who was co-counsel on Obergefell.

    Your 400 posts in this thread seem to show you care quite a bit about what we think.

    Oh yeah, I forgot she was busy losing a different primary.

    Y'all have some really nonsense ideas about 'sinking political careers' using the viewpoints of people who can't appeal to anyone but Twitter stans.

    But we can't do that, and we have to work with what we have. And we MUST keep the GOP out of the White House for the next...20 years. At least.

    You aren't getting it man, principles aren't at play here, this is a team sport and Kamala is on the team.

    And I'll be sure not to notify you when you're not so full of yourself you make trump look well adjusted. Don't want to interrupt your attempt to be the left wing version of our alt right posters here.

    I don't know where you get your sources but you read like you listened to the left wing version of Ben Shapiro for a year straight and can only half remember what you listened to and understand a 10th of that. Whatever random YouTuber you trust to tell you what to think isn't doing a good job.

    You have it backwards, hun; the people griping for an all or nothing "progressive or bust" approach are the team sport players because they view it as a zero sum match rather than a matter of long term political strategy.

    If we'd left civil rights to folks like you, same-sex marriage would still be illegal.

    If you have any principles, there is no way you are not voting Biden to stop Trump. Name one? Can’t? Thought so...

    Mmm, Kamala was always considered on about the same tier as Booker. As in, not top-tier. Certainly above Tulsi, sure. Who only got more delegates because she was the last person to concede besides Bernie himself.

    Warren - she was considered top tier, and severely underperformed. And she was my candidate. By that mark, Bernie also underperformed. Shows you how valuable that reactionary Left vote is, that they couldn't even come out for their own candidates. P.S. I still voted for Warren in June in NY. But I sure as hell will be voting Biden/Harris in November.

    That would take 2 seconds to research though. The guy says he researches but come on taking 2 seconds is a bit much.
