General anti-imperialism anti-Patriot Act certainly should be a core platform for any good candidate. Shows how far we have to go and how much people suck. MSNBC/CNN have no problem with Guantanamo/forever wars.
Bernie addresses the middle eastern wars at least in his latest book, perhaps when he starts getting questioned he'll have a uniquely left position that makes him stand out. Not holding my breath tho.

Where do you get such bad takes from, like are you a 24/7 MSNBC watcher, read all opinion pieces in the NYT/WaPo, follow Neera Tanden on Twitter?
Biden is a bad person with a morally reprehensible record and platform by any sane metric. Compared to Trump of course he's better. But you cannot blame people for not wanting to go to bat for the guy when push comes to shove, and your shaming isn't going to work any better in 2020 than it did in 2016. Don't nominate the guy, don't nominate a bad candidate.
This is the correct general election take for people on the [actual] left, but I have no quarrel with you if you'd rather work an extra shift or watch a movie than go vote for Biden:
