Echo this if you're voting for Biden in 2024. If you're not, respond and tell me why. There aren't any trolls here so I can't imagine there are many reasons why you wouldn't but I'd still like to know.

I'll fill in the bubble next to his name if it means keeping a fascist out of office, but I'd really prefer to stop being forced to vote for neoliberals whose economic policies are often to the right of Reagan and whose health policies left millions of Americans dead/disabled from SARS2.

So you'd feel better voting for Bernie - "Trump supporters are not racist, sexist, homophobic" - Sanders? Or Jill who had lunch with authoritarian/Trump-supporting Putin? The *entire* Left is a hot mess. Can you at least celebrate Joe for outstanding judge appointments?

Wow, misreading almost as bad as 🐦 … 🙄. I'm a leftist but also a realist. I don't think Sanders is electable; he's too polarizing to get much cooperation from neoliberals, let alone Republicans. No third party will never get my vote while they ignore local elections (ESPECIALLY the green party).

You have to remember, we're seeing the fruits of Reagan policy now, over 30 years after they were first implemented. One election will do next to nothing to change this. We can push for a more progressive agenda but the change will be incremental

Biden's economics are to the Right of Reagan? Really?

No, he's not Sanders or AOC. He's not a socialist.

He has, however, worked hard on infrastructure, pandemic relief, student debt relief, lower medical costs... the only reason he hasn't accomplished more is due to lack of a supportive Congress.

Biden campaigned on lowering the eligibility age for Medicare. Technically that's a socialist position - but it's a good position that helps Americans too.

Sanders and AOC are a LONG way from being socialists (they're liberal, but definitely not leftist). 🤣

And yes, every Democratic president since Reagan has reduced the top marginal tax rates and pulled more money away from regular folks. So yes, right of Reagan.
