The left is never going to be able to force establishment Dems to the left if they vote Dem *unconditionally.*

Leverage comes from expressing a willingness to vote for Biden if he meets a certain standard.

The establishment response to this argument has been “its privileged.”
Establishment Dems have been more than willing to meet the standards of a tiny group of “moderate Republicans” who are being targeted at the expense of a great number of voters who comprise the Dem Party base, and whose policy goals overlap with most Dems AND independents.
Legalizing marijuana, stressing an end to endless wars, cutting the military budget, backing single-payer health insurance, committing to recurring monthly COVID relief payments, emphasizing getting money out of policies— all these would create bi-partisan enthusiasm.
Biden thinks we should have “access” to healthcare but that he should have a “right” to our votes.

I think it’s the other way around.
