    I voted for Sanders in the primary (twice). But nobody should compare Biden with Sanders, we should compare Biden with other presidents who were able to get elected and achieve progress. Biden was the best president of the past 50 years. If you disagree, name a president who was better. If you are looking for a hard-core Biden supporter, I am raising my hand as an extremely proud one.

      Sanders was not able to get elected due to the Democratic party preferring to lose rather than put forward an honest to god progressive.

        Except that they won. So it had nothing to do with “preferring to lose”. Primary voters probably thought Sanders would lose, but I do not agree.
