I agree that he has been a good president - the most progressive president in 50 years (yes, I realize that’s a bullshit statement since there have been no even-close-to-progressive presidents). For those who think he’s demented, please listen to his interview on Conan O’Brien’s podcast. He’s phenomenally engaging and has a great wit and memory.

I agree. Especially since boomers own a huge percentage of the wealth in the US.

Until progressives learn to play and win the messaging game, we’re wasting our time. But it has to start with positive messaging not negative messaging. Trumpists have that market cornered.

The whole point is that progressives are getting CRUSHED by the corporatists because the whiners can’t stop eating their own.

Why is that the perception?

Hint: Corps are at record high profits as is wealth inequality.

Well progressives are to blame for their incessant whining that any candidate that is not 100% progressive is absolute shit. Progressives are bitching about PEOPLE while corporatists are controlling the narrative about ISSUES.

I get it and can’t really disagree. But if we want more progressive policy we have to talk with our friends and family more enthusiastically about even small steps to change the narrative. I find very few people say anything positive about Biden, even students who have been given relief for thousands of dollars! What the fuck.

I get it. Maybe we can all just start by changing the conversation and focus on the positive things Biden has done and encourage more of the same. The narrative is only focusing on the negatives and that will affect polling and voting.
