Joe Biden keeps stomping on progressives — despite the fact that he desperately needs their votes. If he wants to defeat Donald Trump, this is exactly the wrong way to do it.
One take I found to probably be pretty accurate is that Biden and the DNC aren't aiming to cater favor with (former?) republican voters, they are trying to cater favor with donors. It makes a lot sense to me, since the group of "I voted for Trump once, but am leaning towards voting for Biden this time, but will definitely go back to voting Trump if Biden's platform makes any healthcare or environmental protections" is probably about 6 people, but each of those six probably has as much wealth as the entirety of everyone in a small state like Deleware combined.
