@justinsane1185 No if they won by a landslide, they would just claim centrism is what won & why we should move more to the right. It's always going to be the opposite of giving any credit on the Left or any blame on the neolibs. It's honestly maddening & Trump's ridiculous campaign calling Biden a socialist only made it more insufferable. If Trump would've mirrored 2016 & called Biden a corrupt establishment insider, Biden would've lost & then the neoliberals would be claiming they lost because the Left didn't do enough (just like in 2016 when they blamed Bernie & the Green Party). I'm so tired of this country & the smoothbrain politics of both sides. Progressives & the populist Left are the only ones who have any solutions to the societal issues & future threats we're facing & they constantly get smeared, strawmanned & sabotaged by "centrists" & liberal elite who are addicted to power & don't care about the working class.

@This_lil_Hornet I'm glad there's at least someone with the political platform to shit on the neoliberals. For every shitlib & never-Trump Republican on cable news crying how it's the Left's fault the neoliberals didn't do well in the election (when it's people like Kasich's fault he didn't deliver on Ohio), AOC has been throwing it right back at them, as she should. Them trying to throw blame for their own failures really is pathetic.

@SpectatorAlius They're literally courting Republicans to be in a Joe Biden administration. How are they not allied with the Right? Save the bullshit pal. You're saying this garbage at the same time a Fox News poll was just released showing Medicare for All has 72% popularity & as far as you thinking it doesn't "even have a chance of working", go live in another country dipshit. Every 1st world country has Universal Healthcare. Even Mexico just passed Universal care where it costs $0 to receive healthcare & you're sitting here claiming it won't work? Based on what? US propaganda & Trump zingers about "Medicare for All is actually Medicare for none"? Gtoh dude. Go learn about the actual policies you're trying to smear & then come talk to me. & as far as neoliberals beating Trump, they just barely squeaked out a victory after Trump bungled COVID, 225,000 people dead, got COVID himself to prove his arrogance, ran a terrible campaign compared to 2016, & he STILL overperformed massively based on what the polls showed Biden winning by. They even lost seats in the House & failed to with the Senate so gee whiz how thankful should we be for the neoliberals again? If not for COVID, Trump would be cruising to reelection & this is exactly what happens when you run a candidate who doesn't actually campaign on policies & things to believe in, but just an anti-Trump vote & a "return to normalcy". The failed Blue Wave is your proof of that. The working class is still sick & fed up, even after a pandemic & financial disaster, the Democrats in leadership still come off as establishment corporate elitist hacks. Oh & would you look at that, Left-wing policy agendas passed overwhelmingly in states where there were direct ballot initiatives. Decriminalization of all drugs, legal recreational Marijuana (which Biden is strongly against), allowing felons to vote, & a $15 min wage in Florida, where Biden lost, but Left policies ("that could never work") won.

Well shucks Andrew Yang, maybe you should've endorsed the Democratic primary candidate who spoke to the needs of the American workers then.

@TMAC803210 He's simply pointing out the hypocrisy. Yang is on CNN talking about how the Dems need to look out for the needs of the American worker, but he literally endorsed the corporate-puppet establishment Democrat over the candidate that was very clearly going to improve the lives for the working class.

@justinsaving9814 The only reason Biden squeaked out a win was because of a heavy anti-Trump vote. Barely anyone actually wanted Biden, they just wanted Trump out. Now imagine if we had a candidate who was actually offering something to a struggling & desperate working class & the 99%. You know how you can deal with ridiculous smears by Trump? You give a counter-argument genius, & Bernie had the best counter-arguments against Trump & the perverse corporate Socialism we have under his presidency, he was just never given the microphone. Instead we had a guy whose brain is basically mush, running away from talking about any policy that would actually help people right now & claiming he will oppose Medicare for All despite it polling at 72% in just a recent Fox News poll. Bernie was made for this moment in history if you would've actually given him a chance, but you're clearly drunk on the BS conventional wisdom that morons like John Kasich are spreading right now.

@eriklakeland3857 Firstly, Bernie called for a $2,000 guaranteed income for the duration of pandemic before the pandemic even hit America. Even if it was a question about UBI, the choice was still crystal clear. Saying Yang "made a damage reduction calculation" sounds like serious pretzel tying. He could've jumped in any time, but didn't, & even when he jumped in, the primary was not over. Yang's Biden endorsement only helped the neolibs speed up a loss for the Left & lead us to the eventually Third Way nightmare we're in now. I'm not voting for Bernie Sanders in 2024 due to his own willingness to endorse Biden after the primary (I doubt he was even going to run), but when it comes to Yang, he's deluding himself if he thinks he's getting a lot of the Left's vote in 2024 after he endorsed THE corporate-puppet establishment candidate in the 2020 primary. Doesn't matter if it was after Super Tuesday or not, Bernie voters & Leftists are pissed at Bernie for even endorsing Biden in the general at all, & Yang endorsed him in the primary when there was a pro-worker anti-war candidate opposing him.

The Left moved on from Bernie because he endorsed Joe Biden in the general. Andrew Yang literally endorsed Joe Biden in the primary. He's not gonna win them over.

Yeah Medicare for All is non-negotiable, politicians should know this by now.

@rabbitsforyang8273 Ah yes the classic old "It's hard to pass, so we shouldn't even try to have better things". Demand better from your politicians & we actually might pass it. Even Fox News just revealed a poll from the election that showed 72% of voters want Medicare for All, & you're over here claiming that's it's impossible. The reason we don't get it is because the politicians are spineless or they listen to special interests over the interests of the people.

@rabbitsforyang8273 Lol Yang flip flopped on Medicare for All you dumbass. He didn't have some brilliant strategy, he twisted into a pretzel just like countless politicians do. He went from supporting Medicare for All for most of the campaign to suddenly changing his position the moment a little bit of pressure was cast upon it by ill-intentioned debate moderators & corrupt special interests. It's literally the exact same thing Elizabeth Warren did as a way to piggy-back on the popularity of Medicare for All without actually committing to it. I'm sure if Yang suddenly changed his position from Universal basic income to Selective basic income with a cutoff point for income & a case by case basis selection period, you would of course be giving him hallow credit for "a better idea". You're such a hack buddy. Yang got the attention he did because he was bold & you're over here giving him "strategy" credit on the one thing he was spineless over, just because Yang did it so, of course, it must be the correct choice. The thing is, Bernie got massive widespread backlash from his own supporters when he endorsed Joe Biden in the general, a guy who was such an anti-thesis to the Leftist platform, but in comparison, Yang endorsed Joe Biden in the primary & he never got a peep from his supporters & they never even tried to course correct him. It's pathetic to watch the lack of individualism & free thinking in your "gang", but you especially are the embodiment of that.

@rabbitsforyang8273 Hmm yes, that's probably why he kept saying he was for Medicare for All for 9-10 months. Now I see.
