The fake Dem pragmatists

It's wrong to frame them as pragmatists. Biden and company are the status quo establishment that want to maintain their own power at our expense, so call them what they are. They are not pragmatic, for it's pragmatic to support policies that help the most people satisfy their lower drives so that they have opportunities to move up Maslow's scale.Their policies do the opposite, keeping us struggling to make ends meet and blaming each other for our woes. The solutions Bernie offers are the real pragmatism.

See this story which exposes the Dem Party myth:

"Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, and other moderates claim they Get Things Done—but not because they actually do get things done. [...] What seems to irk these pragmatists is not strictly that promises like Medicare for All are, in their minds, impossible to enact, but that they are popular enough to force these pragmatists to come clean about why they oppose them.[...] Invoking backlash to liberal overreach is key to maintaining that control."
