Turns out America isn’t actually that progressive, unfortunately. We have Biden and other such candidates because they are popular because they are moderate.
But I agree with other comments: what’s the point of bitching about Biden at this point? The bed is made, lie in it or not it’s not going to get any cozier. The time to complain was when the 2016 primaries happened. And people did and it turns out America doesn’t agree with this idea. It sucks but that’s the hand we’re dealt. Complaining about the moderate without recognizing the incredible harm the actual fascist candidate will cause is deliberately campaigning for the fascist.
Oh and if someone pushes for revolution: You first.

the GOP and RNC are the same

Yeah, I’m guessing those were typos and it was meant to say ‘DNC’ like it does later on

They aren’t the best we’re able to come up with; regardless of your political camp there’s probably tens of thousands, if not millions, of better candidates in our population of 300,000,000. Biden and DJT aren’t even the “best candidates” inside their own parties!
All Biden and DJT represent is what the DNC and GOP want to have in the race and that’s all.
It’s about winning, that’s mostly it. The US elections are more of a popularity contest for way too much of the electorate.

It isn’t the best America can come up with. It’s the best they are willing to give us
