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.

No, they aren't the sole reason she lost, but it was part of a multifactorial denigration of a candidate that helped Trump win. In no way was she a worse candidate than Trump, but enough people/groups said it over a long enough time, and it became the truth for most people.
I think in general, I'm fine with healthy criticism, but you seem to be overly concerned with the language Biden uses rather than looking at his actual platform or his specific actions. I don't think it's very productive to be the word police at this point in the campaign.
Again, once in he's in office, overanalyze all the minutiae of his speeches until you're blue in the face, but right now it reeks of you feeling self-important to point out these things.
#### is really bad here, like really really really bad, and Biden is a hope of some normalcy in the coming years. I don't have time to get overly concerned with his labels or word usage. Actions are all that matter to me at the moment. Rhetoric is meaningless at this stage.
