There isn't leftward progress, just a steady liberal trend. Biden is great if you're a liberal, he's been doing exactly what he said he would, even if he hasn't gotten everything he wants done. But for an actual leftist? Jack shit to move America to Socialism.

The leftist reason to vote for Biden is because he isn't a fascist, that's it. Biden is still just a Capitalist and won't move America anywhere to the left. In case you haven't noticed, the far left have been holding their noses and voting liberal for as long as there's been leftists.

The actual way to move America to the left is pressure from grassroots movements like Unionization.

    The ones that don’t hold their nose are the problem. We’d be in a different world if just 538 (more) of the 100k Florida Nader voters got over themselves and realized there was a pro-environment candidate that actually could’ve won had they just poked a different chad. Hope they enjoy their state falling into the ocean.

    That’s the problem with our voting system. You can have ideals all you want but they are actively working against you if you’ve actually try to vote with them.

    There won’t be any leftward progress as long as our government is made of a big-tent party (that includes the far left) that’s rife with infighting and a smaller party that doesn’t want anything but to distance themselves from the big party altogether that somehow manages to maintain enough power to achieve their goal of slowing them down.
