At least with Biden there was a gesture to the left, even if simply because he had to solidify his support after the primary with Bernie and Warren
Now they've just completely dropped all pretext of being a left-friendly party and have doubled down on being center-right. The only thing not present from 2016's run is the open derision of left-leaning "bernie-bro" dems - but even then, there is a pretty deafening silence that's hard not to interpret as contempt.
To me this feels way more like 2016 than 2020, but my memory might not be serving me that well.
Eh, those are perennial anti-communist slurs used by terminally online libs
IIRC Hilary actually used the term 'bernie bros'. I haven't heard Harris say anything directly accusational about the left yet, but they've been keeping a tight lid on her public comments so who knows if she would, given the chance. I keep waiting for her to call anti-war protestors 'antisemitic' - she's gotten close but I don't think she's been direct about it yet.

Bernie Bros
Genocide Snowflakes, Terrorist Left, Hamas Left, Anti-Semite Left, Russian trolls, CCP trolls
Not sure if they have settled on a name yet for who to blame.

What? No there wasn't.
