The pressure and advocating must never stop, of course, because Biden's natural inclination won't be to do these things in most cases so in that sense he's not an "ally", sure. But that doesn't mean he has to be an enemy either. I suspect you disagree with that part, but the aggressive/hostile style of politics has shown it doesn't win in the Democratic Party and so defaulting to that is just self-satisfaction and not trying to get what you can done. I'm curious as to what you think pushing Biden left looks like, because from my perspective, aggression is the only thing that does work. Primarying out centrist Dems is inherently hostile. Similarly, when the time comes to pass progressive legislation, the left can only gain leverage by blocking legislation they deem insufficient until their demands are met, forcing the moderates to have to appeal to either progressives or Republicans to pass bills. This is up to and including causing government shutdowns. It won't exactly be nice! --- I definitely did not forget to put the 2020 GOTD Guru winner, azuarc in my sig! ... Copied to Clipboard! |
