Pic related is what r/neoliberal thinks about you and everyone else who supported Bernie. Reminder that neither Biden nor his supporters want your vote, your solidarity, or anything else from you, and they never will. They don't respect you, they don't want to work with you, and you aren't going to move them left.

If you still resignedly vote Biden for them because they've successfully guilt tripped you about hArM rEdUcTiOn and tHe MoSt PrOgReSsIvE pLaTfOrM iN hIsToRy, you deserve the betrayal and sidelining you're on course to receive from the Democratic Party under the Biden administration.

    I mean, the majority of Bernie supporters want social democracy as their main thing and second to that they want to live in a country where the theocrats inside the Republican party are entirely sidelined. Essentially, they just want a democratic party that actually does something rather than being total chicken shit.

    Voting Biden to get rid of Trump absolutely fits into that broader framework of being a junior partner in a coalition government. I'm far more skeptical of what the new peoples party folks or the green party will ever be able to accomplish for social democracy and pushing out republicans than the current approach. This forum is certainly farther to the left than the median Bernie supporter.

    Also I highly suspect Bernie would've moved to the center had he won the nomination. The median voter is a lot of different things. Namely, he would've moved to the right on immigration, policing, probably would've taken on some more friendly views around guns and any number of culture war type issues. Bernie's path to victory was not by growing margins in the suburbs like it has been for Biden, it was winning back the small industrial towns that had long been democratic but voted for Trump.
