But I was told he’s outflanking Dems on the left
Look, I wish the Democratic Party was on whole farther left. Moving it there is an important goal. But we won’t get there by pretending the modern GOP isn’t a racist, kleptocratic, theocratic, fascist dumpster fire. False equivalence is part of the problem, not a solution.
“In Europe, the Democrats would be a center-right party!”
Setting aside how Europe is always the comp (🤔), why do people say that like it’s a criticism of Democrats? It’s an indictment of *America*.
You won’t turn the US into Scandinavia by wishing away the American Right.

I wish we didn’t have to choose between Biden and Trump. But we do. That’s the reality of the country we live in. (Didn’t want to choose between Bernie and Trump either, but it would’ve been just as easy a decision in November.)
If you want more progressive policies than you think Biden will give us, you can:
A) give him as progressive a House and Senate as possible, and spend the next 4 years pushing him
or
B) facilitate Trump’s re-election
In no universe is that honestly a tough decision.

It’s funny how “Republicans are out-flanking Dems on the left” is never about civil rights or equality. It’s a talking point from the “progressivism” of privilege.
