Well then honestly who cares if the left criticizes Biden? It's not like those suburban voters are frequent readers of The Intercept or something. Mainstream media outlets have proven pretty adept at not covering the left's complaints about Biden.

Hell, even if you look at their records in Congress, the left generally falls in line with the Democratic establishment when the time comes to vote.

For all the whinging about Bernie Bros costing Hillary the election, they turned out in better numbers for her than Hillary voters did for Obama in '08. They aren't the reason she lost.
