(50,939 posts)If you compare his platform and programme proposals to any previous nominee before him going back decades upon decades, other than Bernie, he is far more progressive. Just because he doesn't shoot off the deep end of Sanderite fevered dreams does not, I repeat does NOT make him or most of the last 20 or so who were left, some some of centre left (I have even saw him called a crypto Republican ffs!, including on here, and that earned a poof, rightly so) to centre right sell-out. AT ALL. That is pure and unadulterated bollocks.
It is pure gaslighting to say he is some middle of the roader. I defy you to point to significant parts of his agenda that were 'moderate' when viewed in a historical context, especially compared to anything in the last 75 years before him (not counting Sanders).
Just because a candidate disagreed with Bernie on certain big ticket items does NOT automatically make them a moderate or some sort of sell-out, or a corporate hack, or Rethug-lite, or ANY of the other bullshit smears that came flying in from the Sanders campaign and their social media attack dogs against any other candidate (WARREN included!) not named Sanders.

primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
