    Voting for a progressive third party in the general will not get you a progressive win.

    So are you just under the impression that we’re not only stuck with Biden, there’s nothing the Dem base can ever do to ever change his mind?

    So the only option besides letting Biden do only whatever he wants, is voting third party?

    Because I don’t understand why Biden supporters skip the step where it’s a possibility Biden listens to his base.

      Centrists are Biden’s base, and they don’t want him broadening that base by listening to people to their left (and only their left.)

        The Democratic voters base is Gen Z and Millennials, who make up 40% of the electorate. Over 45 which is pretty much everyone else is solidly trump.

        That’s one of the big problems, the Dems dont understand who they represent.

          Yes, but you said Biden’s base. Not Democrats’ base. The one is a subset of the other.
