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."
