MODERATORS
Sanders or West would be better candidates. I admit ignorance on Stein's relation to Putin. I mentioned her since she is the Green Party candidate.
What are Biden's progressive accomplishments? I remain unconvinced Biden is left or progressive. I hope you can help me see my shortcomings.
The best of the Biden Administration's work has been coalition building for Ukraine. That work is fatigued by support for Gaza. Support for suppression of student protests is not progressive. Infrastructure seems to be a corporate bailout. Handling of COVID was roughly the same as under Trump. Waiting for pandemic fatigue and the virus to become endemic ended the War on COVID. Wages are not keeping up with cost of living. I am against gun control, so that failure is fine.
Swing state voters decide elections. Since I am not one, voting against Biden is not equivalent to voting for Trump. My vote will not swing the outcome in my state.
What?
