Biden just condemned Antifa, so spare me the vote-shaming crap. Joe Biden is not an ally. https://t.co/XPHu1guHTV— Pat the General Striker 🦺🌹 (@PatTheBerner) September 8, 2020
I'm thinking more along the lines of what a mass organized protest movement could accomplish. Trump admin would be openly hostile. At least the Dems will have to symbolically align themselves with "progressive" ideals. I'm thinking it's more possible to bend a Dem administration than a Republican
I'm thinking that even though it's incredible unlikely, and you're right that their true beliefs and actions are antithetical to progressive values, the Dems are at least symbolically tethered to a progressive image that I think leads to the possibility of the party being bent through external forces such as an organized left. I see no such possibility from a Republican administration. This is purely a take about the possibility of reform, and I do realize that it's still incredibly unlikely under a Biden admin for anything positive to happen. I think it's just slightly more likely than under a Republican one.
