Pushing him left, folks! This all feels so 2008. Why can't they hire someone new, who would believe the same stuff, but wouldn't be so obviously opposed to climate change activists? You know, just to fake us out and give us some hope.

    Yeah, I feel like the activist base and the progressive elements will easily be disillusioned by Biden. Hell, even normies could become disillusioned.

      That was always the argument as to why socialists should vote for Biden. Honest Liberals will never realize how futile their faith in the Democratic party is until the Democratic party is in power and doing the same thing as the Republican party. Once they're disillusioned, we can radicalize them.

          I guess it's a matter of if you're a "heighten the contradictions at any cost" kind of guy. I personally don't see how not voting for Biden keeps me, a citizen of the heart of the global capitalist empire with gallons of blood on my hands from my consumption habits, a better socialist. My soul isn't clean, and I wasn't using it anyway.
