“In terms of the band of possible options that became possible after Super Tuesday, these are on the most optimistic end of that for progressives,” said one Warren-aligned Dem.

    Progressive was co-opted and ruined by libs before Warren even started her primary campaign. Don't call yourself a progressive in America anymore for fucks sake. All it means now is woke capitalism.

      If I'm talking to libs, yeah. They're willing to support more stuff if you call it progressive and left-Dems identify with it. But it's a very vague term in reality.

    The Biden presidency is going to be so fucking bad. Holy shit. We needed a sandwich and we got soggy bread that fell on the floor. And we're gonna get the propaganda megaphone blasted at us, telling us we should be thankful for it and it's awesome, actually. Young people delivered the election to Biden, and he's already negotiating down whatever little help was hinted at in regards to student loans. Fuck all these horrible people.

    I think mad about is different than being happy about. Obviously there's no one to be happy about, but there hasn't been anything totally egregious yet on the basis of what "progressives" i.e. not socialists (as socialist will never be made happy and idk why anyone would expect otherwise), whereas with Obama it essentially was all egregious.

        Succdems don't care about foreign policy, and the extent to which they do it's about use of multilateralism and liberal deplomacy over the John Bolton style bomb and ask questions later approach.

        Susan Rice would've also been a worse pick than Blinkin and it was really just between the two of them.

      Biden did say he was considering putting a republican on the cabinet, that should piss even most milquetoast warren supporter off.
