I think Hasan is cooking when he said they are being told to do it so Biden doesn’t pin this on the outsiders trying to oust him. AOC and Bernie have given pretty bland generic support statements it’s not like they are going the Fetterman route of going hard in support of him

I feel like things might be different if the left-wing had a much larger coalition. In reality, it's very small and going against Biden in this case would probably do more harm than good in defeating Trump. There's not much to gain for them, and I think they also see it as politically beneficial for their potential legislation to have a democrat as President rather than Republican. 4 years as a blue representative with a republican president are basically years wasted.

The goal of beating Trump is short sighted.  Beating Trump with what?  Rampant neoliberal economic policy coupled with proxy war and genocide?  There's no vision to the democrats.. and no backbone against the oligarchy... and there hasn't been during my lifetime.  They're simply the liberals who will enable Hitler to rise again.

100%, the Dems have no platform, they’re basically the “opposition party” for whatever fascist bullshit the Republicans are cooking up; and are perilously close to the same political values.

Democrats have a platform; the Republicans' platform is "we don't want what the Democrats want to do; keep everything the same or as we had it before progress". However, while Republicans actively push to get things done, Democrats do not actually fight to get their platform accomplished, because doing so would possibly harm their actual constituents (the rich that benefit from Republican policies too)

So of the democrats are feckless, why defend them.  They have needed to 'do something' for 6 elections cycles now and time has run out, they aren't a political party, but rather, they are  lawyers for the oligarchs
