    It’s still June, it’s still months till the election. People still are entitled to voice their opinion about Bidens policies and demand he takes more steps to the left leveraging the only power they have, their vote. If people can’t demand better policies now, when there is so much time left for Bidens team to course change, when are they allowed? It’s crazy to see these types of posts since the democratic primaries.

    As many people in this thread have already pointed out, Joe Biden can enact right wing policy after right wing policy, damaging the support of his core voter base for the slight chance that some Trump fanatic votes for him. But you can’t expect him to try to convince left wing people by enacting progressive stuff, even though none of the candidates currently campaign for them?

    It’s insane that in the US, people on the left at the same time have the power to lose Biden the election by not voting for him and have not enough power to get any attention from him. I believe if Trump wins again, it is entirely on Biden and the DNC that they chose this candidate and this course, not having learned anything in 2016.
