    The Climb Back is definitely up there for Cole, but come on “Lion King on Ice” has nothing on his discography. Born Sinner, Forrest Hills, 4YEO & KOD almost every song on each project is far more superior than that s---.

    Nina Turner and the rest of Bernie Sanders supporters need to shut up about the Democrats! They need to get behind the Biden-Harris ticket and stop dividing. They need to come together to get trump out and once that happens, then they can come after them but right now we need unity.

    Vast majority of Sanders supporters voted for Hillary in 2016 and most will vote for Biden this year. Sanders has bent over backwards with his support for the establishment in 2016 and 2020. He conceded everything policy wise and they still treat him like he’s a pariah.

    democrat establishment has repeatedly threw their middle fingers to progressives even though the majority of democrats agree ON THE POLICY ISSUES with progressives like Sanders, AOC, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Talib. The media constantly s----s on their policies and gives Biden wing non stop praise and therefore people think those types of Democrats are “more electable” to beat Trump. That didn’t work so well in 2016, did it?

    Don't voter shame people. It’s the job of politicians to win voters over. It’s not the job of voters to fall in line.

    I’m plugging my nose and voting for Biden/Harris but I can see why people are voting third party or sitting it out. Democrats have lost their way with the working class. They’re the party of well off suburbanites who put identity and symbolism over fighting for policies that helps minorities, poor and working people.

    They need to fall in line until Biden-Harris has won the ticket, dems don't need division right now. Once trump is out, continue to apply pressure on Biden to make changes and if they don't we vote him out.

    I am voting for him because his climate policies are better than Trump’s. Also he wants to slightly raise the corporate tax rate that Trump dropped, which is a positive. It should be even higher than he has said, but it’s still better than Trump. I’m also pro choice and support LGBTQ rights, Trump and GOP aren’t.

    But as far as healthcare, police reform, legalizing marijuana, Wall Street reform...Biden can go f--- himself. He’s awful on those policies.

    Imagine going to great lengths to defend either of the two major parties today and get mad when people call out bs on both sides:')

    Imagine seeing the last three years and having such a petulant view of politics.

    Not understanding why some folks aren’t coming out for Biden is the problem and will lead to a worse Trump. 8 years of neoliberalism with Obama/Biden led to Trump in the first place. Nothing fundamentally changed. Working class is fed up.

    I mean, ok? The Biden camp has done an excellent job of threading the needle for the vast majority of progressives - they've done practically all they can and should do to bridge the gap without alienating the voters at @Enigma's Median chart, to the slight right (but left of Trump). The margin that's still sitting on their hands will almost certainly be offset by the working class coalition, suburban moms and black voters that have been Biden's coalition this entire time. So you're conflating a lot of things to conveniently back up your own, misguided assumptions about what led to Trump's extremely narrow, specious victory.

    And look, I agree with a lot of your policy prescriptions, etc. etc. no disagreement. I'm a progressive as well. But to reduce everything that occurred in 2016 soooo pat is disingenuous, if not typical. And it's not lost on me you've consistently misread this race the entire time - we have receipts - so maybe you should be a little more introspective, instead of leveling these broad assertions.

    When Biden/Harris win and nothing fundamentally changes for 8 years, have fun with President Tucker Carlson and VP Donald Trump Jr. in 2028.
