Again, why is it always put upon progressives to save the day in these areas when their voices clearly aren't valued anywhere else?
I can agree that this is really not a good election to take a stand, but progressives have been getting told to fall in line for the greater good since as long as I can remember and they largely have dick all to show for it. During this cycle the establishment haven't even tried to hide the complete contempt they have for that wing of the party. I can completely understand why they're not wanting to play ball anymore.
Biden isn't entitled to the progressive vote just because he's not Donald Trump, especially if he's more interested in making an ill-advised play for Republican voters than he is with bridging the divide within his own party.
