“Biden isn’t making
any real attempts to bring
the left into his coalition.
At a time where protests
are happening across the
country to highlight systemic
racism, he refuses to support
legalizing marijuana, [which
has been] a catalyst for
the massincarceration of
peopleof color. At a time
in which millions of people
are losing health care due to
losing their jobs because of
Covid, he refuses to support
Medicare for All.If Biden
doesn’t moveleft, he should
not feel entitled to support
POOLE:from the left.”
