I’m interested in understanding why so many have picked Joe Biden. According to several top posts, Lemmy is supposedly left wing, yet the vast majority are voting for a conservative democrat over the progressive.

Does anyone here actually care about pushing against dark money, treating climate change like an existential threat, and fighting for universal health care? What’s drawing you to voting for him? Looking forward to respectful debate

I’m interested in who you think is the progressive candidate?

Only one candidate has committed to:

  • medicare for all
  • free college tuition
  • legalizing marajuanna
  • eliminating the social security cap

It’s all laid out in a policy page that’s more detailed than even Bernie’s ever was.

Meanwhile Biden’s website just says ‘lets finish the job’??

She’s also is a crazy person who thinks crystals heal you and essential oils are medicine so I think I’ll pass on that type of candidate

These are all nice ideals to work towards, but any single one of them would take the full 4 year term to flesh out in any capacity. Its nice to have a list of things you want, its an entirely different beast getting enough bipartisan support to make them reality. I do not see most of these things ever having a real chance of happening except maybe the legalize marijuana one.
