If Biden gets elected all the resistance suburbanites currently going "You just want four more years of Trump!!!!" are going to respond to any criticism of the president with "well then I guess you must really miss Trump!!!"

People keep saying "this is the most progressive ticket in Dem history" and I don't see it? What I see is a party that Trumpism has dragged more inexorably toward the right, more heedless of marginalized voices and more intrigued by fascist ones than it has been in years?

If THIS really was the most progressive ticket in Dem history that would be super depressing, which by itself leads me to find it more plausible

Given the times, I'd say Kennedy/Johnson was more progressive. At least Johnson ushered in civil rights.

"Given the times" is kind of a weird thing to say when the thing being measured is "progressiveness" in and of itself, as though there's some "politics index" that tells you what the country is objectively ready for and then we measure how far ahead or behind the President is

Like in a sense that's a self defeating metric If you were to use that standard then there's a strong argument the most progressive ticket ever was McGovern/Shriver 1972, because it was *perceived* as *too progressive* for the electorate and therefore lost in a landslide
