Democrats need to offer a hell of a lot more than “we’re not actively trying to kill you like the Republicans” if they want that.
That continues to be the majority of the way they claim distinction from their Republican peers. They’re riding this gravy train, and they don’t want it to stop. People like Nancy Pelosi are way more concerned with feckless public displays like kneeling while wearing kente cloths instead of actual legislation to reign in out-of-control abusive and violent policing. They’re way more concerned with the money they’ve made from this charade than actually serving the American people.
They have to offer a hell of a lot more than “We’re not Republicans” if they want us doing more than just voting for Biden to make sure Trump doesn’t become President once more. That’s not a choice, that’s a hostage situation.
Biden has objectively had one of the most progressive and active policy agendas in a generation. Even with his failed policies like student loan forgiveness, as soon as it was overturned by SCOTUS, he wasted no time and immediately proposed another way to do it. Given that Dems don’t control congress, this has been an amazingly productive term.
In fact, Bernie Sanders said of Biden, “I think he is a much more progressive president than he was a United States senator.” Sanders credits the progressive task forces that they did together while campaigning.
I agree that Dems need to offer more. But I also think the left eats itself. There are two kinds of low information voters. One kind adores their leaders unthinkingly. But the other kind refuses to give credit when it’s due.
