Biden did very, very few “left” things. His policies were center-right. (For example, when the railroad workers threatened the economy with a strike, the left-wing response would be to temporarily nationalize the rails; the right-wing response would be to protect the railroad companies and remove the workers’ ability to strike.) Progressives showed up to vote for Harris, anyway, as the numbers show. The mythical “centrists” did not.
Biden: Green energy, EVs, drug price control, PACT act, Chips act, student debt relief, build back better, etc. Rail. That’s just of the top of my head. But it’s always n n n not enough for the left. He did left things but the left wasn’t going to show up. Every. Single. Time.
