    It’s an article literally saying that “leftists can push Biden to the left” while pointing to these accomplishments as proof:

    [Biden’s administration] embraced massive government intervention to stave off the worst economic impacts, including handing millions of families monthly checks (by expanding the child tax credit), giving all kids in public schools free meals, boosting unemployment insurance and extending health coverage to millions.

    All of those policies were temporary and have now expired. Truly the most progressive president since LBJ.

    work their hearts out

    not sure I’ve ever seen this specific phrase before, seems almost like a threat

    sure there’s ‘bleeding hearts’ and ‘wearing your heart on your sleeve’ and ‘knock your socks off’ and ‘work your ass off’

    but ‘work your hearts out’ like wtf

    Hell of a fucking statement right here:

    What about everything supporters of Bernie Sanders have found so thrilling about the Vermont senator’s vision of the future, from universal health care to free college? It’s true Biden was never going to deliver that, but to be honest, neither would Sanders had he been elected president.

    Motherfucker, then why bother? If nothing ever gets delivered then why should I give a fuck? What’s the point?

    I won’t vote for the Republican oppositon but I actively hope Biden loses.
