The gulf between Bernie’s & Biden’s policies that impact poor & oppressed people is bigger than the one between Trump’s & Biden’s. Those now frantic about how urgent it is to defeat Trump, who had no comparable energy for Bernie beating Biden, are hard to take seriously
Trump: deport more people
Biden: deport less people
Bernie: deport nobody

Trump: bomb more Muslims
Biden: bomb same amount of Muslims
Bernie: end all the wars

Trump: jail more Black/Latino ppl
Biden: maybe less? Idk
Bernie: end mass incarceration, overturn all drug convictions
None of these people were talking about how much more progressive Bernie’s Supreme Court nominations would be vs. lifelong-conservative Biden’s (or Bernie’s lone plan to curb existing rightwing judges’ power)—but suddenly all they care about is the Supreme Court appointments
