Biden doesn't want to hear millennials complain: 'Give me a break'
OK, he said it a year ago.
But people will be reminded, as happens in the following Guardian piece.
The central pieces of Bernie's liberal/progressive/social democratic agenda are in fact very popular: Medicare for all and free tuition at public colleges and universities.
(I would prefer Obamacare for all and tuition vouchers that could be spent at any school.)
(I would prefer Obamacare for all and tuition vouchers that could be spent at any school.)
But the man's radicalism, avowed loathing for capitalism and lifelong preference for actual, outright socialism, appealing to the Democratic and extra-Democratic left, put him further left in outlook than most Democrats and certainly than most independents.
And that's pretty much what the author of this piece, whose real favorite is the soi-disant democratic socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who is too young to be eligible for the job, regards as the exactly best reason to nominate him: that he's further left than any actual Democrat seeking and eligible for the nomination, biographically, rhetorically, and ideologically.
Which, of course, is why he isn't a Democrat.
I would prefer a nominee who is one.
Like Beto, say.
