Placing unrealistic demands in Biden is exactly what the left should be doing. It does to things. It pushes Biden left and it makes Biden look more moderate when he implements policy to the right of the crazy wing of his party.
Well, I am giving the guy a break until he's actually in office for one. Especially under a global pandemic exacerbated by a economic crisis...

Campaigning as passionately against Biden as they did Trump? That's myopic and often the reason the Republican Monolith was in power the last 4 years and secured 74 million votes.

Biden may not be perfect, but he's a damn lot better than Trump - ANY EPA policy that Biden puts forward is going to be 1000x better than Trump...

The democratic base is fractured as well; you're not going to please everyone, especially those that make perfect the enemy of good...

that's not even considering the fact the Democrats might not even control the Senate...
