      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

      I would argue that any ticket where a Democrat was like "I'm going to be bipartisan", was more progressive than this ticket, which is also pledging to be bipartisan but at a stage where the Republicans are more overtly a fascist plague state death cult than they've ever been

      The further right the Republican party goes, the more right-wing a policy it is to respect their humanity So by that token, Obama 08 was more progressive than Obama 12, Hillary and this ticket

      Wait so how far back do you take that, like was Clinton/Gore 1992 more progressive than Obama/Biden 2008

      iirc Clinton/Gore preceded (and in fact was the catalyst for) Newt Gingrich's scorched-earth tactics that directly evolved into Mitch McConnell's complete stonewalling of progress and dismantling of government, as well as preceding the Patriot Act, so there's an argument there

      But Clinton explicitly ran on being a centrist conservative Democrat as a break from the failed progressivism of the past! That's what "New Democrat" at that time meant!

          I mean yeah Mondale/Ferraro was a more progressive ticket than Clinton/Gore Hell, by virtue of its mission statement to abort the Reagan era rather than succeed it, it was a more progressive ticket

          I mean what I'm kind of getting at here is this is a kind of self contradictory thing to be arguing Within the mythmaking of the late 20th century there absolutely is a perception that McGovern '72 hit the "limits of progressivism" and everyone since has run to the right

          But if you look at the actual content of McGovern's platform this is kind of absurd I guess you could argue it if you're like Matt Stoller and you think same-sex marriage etc are all meaningless theater
