13394556, Biden gets it (unlike Clinton) and recognizes that he needs Progressives Posted by Vex_id, Tue Jul-21-20 09:57 AM
(actual Progressives) to win in November - which is why he's elevated both Bernie & AOC within his campaign and has not only welcomed them to his table - but has asked them for their help (because he wisely knows he needs it).
And I actually agree - Bowman and AOC aren't just simply "anti-establishment" candidates - they are builders of a new consensus/establishment. They aren't just here to tear things down - but have actual substantive plans to rebuild a new foundation and political ethos that enlarges the tent and wins the war of ideas to create a more inclusive body politic capable of championing progressive policies - even though they've been met with resistance at every turn from old-guard stalwarts like yourself.
