    Liberals aren’t as bad as Nazis

    Great. I’m gonna ignore all the other red herrings and drill down on this.

    When your options are “bad” and “less bad”, shouldn’t you vote for “less bad”?

      Yes, I never insinuated otherwise. However, your point this entire time is that this should move America to the left, and that leftists should be happy with that, which is wrong in both cases.

        Well I disagree with your weird take that there’s not a spectrum from right wing to centrist to liberal to “leftist”, so the terminology is different. In your weird non axial political verbiage, I would say “this should move America farther away from the right, and that leftists should be happy with that.”

          It moves America further from fascism, but not closer to Socialism. Given that the goal of leftists is both anticapitalism and pro-socialism, failing to include the pro-socialist aspect means it’s never going to be good for leftists, just not as bad, thus its on the liberals to actively throw the leftists a bone, rather than being not as evil.

            It’s pretty much a moral requirement when given a binary choice to choose the less bad option.

              Sure, but you’ve been working off false reasoning, and the point is that Biden has a responsibility to appeal to leftists if he wishes to garner more of their votes. You’re blaming voters for bad policy by Biden, which doesn’t make sense.
