    I’m going to have to disagree pretty hard.

    Biden won’t do much of anything to move things where they need to be, absolutely. But Trump is going to make it much worse - and a few months before an election, those are the only choices.

    To get more progressives in requires starting lower down. Local, county, and state representatives. Shawn Fain, for example, would have a good chance in a state election. More folks like Cori Bush or Jeff Merkley representing their state at the federal level.

    With Trump elected - democracy is at stake, we’ve already seen that just a few years ago. You’re not getting progressives anywhere in a Trump presidency.

    Voting for one doesn’t move the needle. Voting for the other, or not voting at all and taking a vote against a potential future, is guaranteed to make things worse.

    Suggesting Trump and Biden are the same and yield the same results is absolute lunacy.
