Does it even matter anymore what Joe thinks? The day he is elected, if he is elected, he will be on the outside looking in... and doing pretty much as he’s told.

If that would have only happened with Trump. He is dangerously the opposite - he listens to no one that should be listened to.

Progressive Biden Supporters Pledge Revolt If Dem Nominee Leans Too Moderate, Courts Republicans

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) may be in line with the Democratic Party when it comes to the 2020 contender, but his progressive supporters may not be, according to a Wednesday report in The Hill.

Although the Biden campaign has made every effort to court and win progressive support — including a push to put progressive and Democratic Socialist superstars like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) on its policy teams — the relationship between the Biden campaign and certain far-left elements of the party is still tenuous and after a week of campaign announcements focusing largely on Republican (and former Republican) support for the former Veep, progressives are speaking out.

“Biden is transparently taking a bet to win over a group of anti-Trump Republicans but at the expense of what? Potentially losing some of the largest movements in history?” progressive activist and Sanders supporter Nomi Kurst told The Hill. “His excitement is extremely low and that should always be alarming for candidates. It’s the Hillary Clinton strategy all over again.”

Biden has welcomed these efforts with open arms, and speaking over the weekend, stressed his ability to extend an olive branch across the aisle.

“It’s how our government was designed to work,” Biden told the National Education Association, the nation’s largest teachers union. “I’ve done it my whole life. No one’s ever doubted my word, and I’ve been able to bring Democrats and Republicans together in the United States Congress to pass big things, to deal with big issues.”

Progressives say they may bolt the party, though, if Biden keeps up efforts to woo Republicans, stressing that partisan rancor is at an all-time high and Republicans are likely to oppose Biden policy efforts once he takes office.

The Democratic Socialist movement doesn’t reflect the Democratic Party. It’s a very small, but very loud sect. I also, don’t see the issue with Democrats and Republicans working together. Those Socialists are just previewing to the American people that they won’t work for anyone but their supporters.

Not worried atp. Biden is going too have to present his policies and platform. He is not going to get elected just being mum and will have to decide to put forth progressive or moderate views, hence alienating one side.
