I wish this had been published sooner! Absolutely correct. So true that the media has heavily promoted the need for a moderate, with no proof. Few want to go ahead and say that Bernie’s agenda is morally superior and would be of great benefit to poor blacks as well as poor whites and Latinos. Too bad. So we’ll get good old moderate Joe and miss the chance to actually progress. Well, I’ll vote for Joe With a big sigh.

Personally I don't think there is any way Biden will win. I think stopping Sanders is more important to the DNC and the centrist Democratic party establishment then winning. With Biden they loose an election, with Sanders they loose their "iron rice bowls."

I think you fail to engage with the corruption and credentialism that is involved in putting a bunch of people with pieces of paper in positions of trust over who can and can't keep their "guaranteed" job and under what conditions. Instead the people need to be trusted... and also the left needs to engage with the extent to which methane drastically warms the climate, putting us in far-greater danger of natural feedbacks to create a runaway shift in climate, instead of a bourgeois, Luntizian, focus on carbon-dioxide emissions.

Progressives will never win another presidential election because white people or conservatives control most states. Look at the political map for the USA. It is a sea of red. The progressive

Population resides on the coasts of our map. They might get the popular vote but never the electoral vote. The country is run by religious right and conservatives. When progressives move away from the cities and out into mid America and start winning the local and state houses which would take a century to do then maybe they might have a fighting chance. Democrats have to slowly move from the left towards the middle in order to change the majority of the voting system.Bernie means well but there too many religious right people and it will be impossible. Vote Biden and you will at least get almost there.
