your refusal to even acknowledge one thing you think Biden has done well.

Because everything he’s “done well” has been pretty much the same shit they’ve always done. It’s not enough. You can blame Republicans all day long but we need something to change and Democrats are the only option available to progressives and leftists. But every single time there’s an opportunity to demonstrate looking towards the future and making these changes Biden has passed that up. Here’s some examples:

Called on congress to block the rail strike: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/biden-calls-on-congress-to-block-potential-railroad-strike
Walks back his own campaign promise for $50k forgiveness: https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/539139-biden-balks-at-50k-student-loan-forgiveness-plan/
Goes around congress to sell weapons to Israel: https://www.cnn.com/2023/12/29/politics/biden-congress-israel-military-aid/index.html
Forced federal workers back to office: https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/13/politics/in-person-work-biden-administration/index.html
Increased the defense budget: https://www.cnn.com/2022/03/28/politics/defense-budget-biden-administration/index.html

These behaviors put me as a voter in a no win situation. If I support Biden after all this what am I doing besides giving establishment Democrats and moderate voters a blank check opportunity to say “See? Everything is fine.”. They will completely ignore the fact that I and other voters compromised our principles in order to prop up a candidate we hate for what he’s done.

On the other hand I can protest vote 3rd party or write in. And of course that comes with it’s own risks.

At what point will moderates and establishment Democrats have a moment of self awareness and admit that this isn’t a sustainable model? Personally I had hoped 2016 would be that wake up call but instead I’m seeing people try to turn it around as if it’s progressives and leftists who need to change.
