Lol as a Bernie supporter that knows several Bernie supporters. We like the Democrats. They are objectively doing a good job considering their lack of a majority. Bernie an AOC wouldn't be getting much different done anyway. The biggest fault of the democratics is they don't go far enough but they are stillaling progress.

Perfect shouldn't be the enemy of good. Especially when fascists will absolutely destroy the country

I also know working class Bernie supporters who are done with the crips.

Slowly moving away from the two party system, it will take time.

Lemmy was not built in a day.

Fascists are not stopped by lying about how great Biden is doing and the reality of the working class struggle.

The system is cemented into 2 parties. Thrown away votes just enable a worse outcome. You can't wish more parties into the current system. Also think about it. If we had more than 2 trump would have 100% got re elected.

Bidens doing good. We got out of Afghanistan. He's helping Ukraine. The inflation act was a great win forcing a minimum tax on massive corporations. He did all he could on student debt and minimum wage. The infrastructure bill was a win. He wouldn't sell offensive weapons to the Saudis

Bernie would have gotten the same amount done. Dems never had a hold of the Senate.

Biden is literally the most left president we've had in modern history. That in itself is sending a signal. You're competing with a 100 million people. Getting as left as Biden is solid progress and the only realistic route to further progress.

I guess more and more of us will keep throwing away our vote for the long term and not the short term.

You sound like a democrat apologist with those talking points.

Biden is not the leftist president, he is a republican in the blue team.

Student debt was possible, you need to learn the proper way it should have been done, and stop believing what politicians tell you.
