and it's a shitty campaign ad of bernie telling people to vote biden and every awful neoliberal account is pushing this. Fuck Bernie Sanders. Society has progressed past the need for Bernie Sanders.

    He did the same thing in 2016.

    As someone who represents "the left" to the democrats, it isn't necessarily a bad thing that he plays along.

    This doesn't mean that people should vote Biden, but we can't fault people acting within the electoralist/reformist space for making decisions that support the status quo. That is an inherent part of working within that space, and it is why it is so important to do praxis outside of that space.

      I'd say this is more precisely stated as "we can't fault people working in the electoral space for the compromises necessary to have any power in that space."
