This is why I'm convinced that Biden will be a boon to the communists. Imagine the economy shifting itself even more as the capitalists have to contract the social welfare programs they were forced to give us. But instead of a charismatic Obama to dull hate its decaying Biden. I mean literally the last part of gen z and gen alpha are going to grow up in the death spasm of empire. It will be far easier to be a communist than either a Neolib fuck or a fascist.
Well the main issue with biden I think is that his election demonstrated that the democrats need give nothing at all to be elected, so there's no reason for them to keep tolerating any progressives in the party at all. These progressives would never be allowed to change anything, but they can be useful if they keep mainstreaming left idea that the democrats have to publicly reject. If he had lost, the democrats may have budged a little, for the sake of being elected, they won't get as much money from the rich if they're never in office after all. They would never have given much, but they might have even gone as far as an Elizabeth Warren type and tolerated some in the party who will move discussions left, out of necessity. You may be right though, thats an interesting point, definitely the only good point I've seen towards voting for biden
Yeah, they still need progressives to an extent, but Biden being elected without even really pretending to be progressive won't be good for them. They won't allow those progressives to gain too much ground either, we've seen how fruitless it is to try to take over a bourgeois party. They'll tolerate them only as much as they need to, for the sake of remaining the "opposition" to republicans that get plenty of donations

Democrats lost 14 seats this election lol. They would have lost 35 if not for socialist endorsed candidates sweeping their elections.
