    So now that RFK Jr is going to actually syphon off the mythical “moderate Republicans” from trump…

    We won’t have to hear that as a reason Biden can’t give Dem voters what they want… Right?

      Biden doesn’t have to give anyone anything. He will be the nominee, provided he has a pulse, and he can easily raise enough money to win his election and help downticket democrats. Everything else is a distraction.

      The real trick is, if we see a democratic majority in the house and senate (unlikely, but possible), how will the Democrats avoid the progressive agenda then? Who can they blame for the lack of progress? Probably the courts, and obstructionist Republicans, both problems they could avoid if they actually wanted to pass a progressive agenda.
