52. Why should Biden adopt unpopular policies that are just talking points really...like the Green New

Deal and M4A? These are not real plans...we need to begin working for a climate solution and healthcare but these 'plans' were concession in Congress to AOC during the speakership battle that never had a chance to pass. Let's work on real policy. And for whatever reason Axelrod has been predicting Biden's failure the entire primary...and never has a good word to say.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
