Former Vice President and 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden appears to be in a pickle. On one side of his base is a group of moderates and on the other side is a group of radical far-left liberals.

According to The Hill, there is a large amount of progressives who are threatening to ditch their support for Biden if he tries appeasing the moderates and never-Trump Republicans.

“Biden is transparently taking a bet to win over a group of anti-Trump Republicans but at the expense of what? Potentially losing some of the largest movements in history?” said progressive activist and socialist Bernie Sanders supporter Nomi Kurst. “His excitement is extremely low and that should always be alarming for candidates. It’s the Hillary Clinton strategy all over again.”

The Daily Wire reports:

Biden has been open about courting “compromise” voters, particularly so-called “Never Trump” Republicans and other conservatives who fear giving the current president another four years in office. Groups like the Lincoln Project are openly targeting Trump from the center-right, and just last week, a group of former George W. Bush administration staffers announced their own effort to unseat Trump, a super PAC named “43 Alumni for Biden.”

Biden has welcomed these efforts with open arms, and speaking over the weekend, stressed his ability to extend an olive branch across the aisle.

“It’s how our government was designed to work,” Biden said to the National Education Association. “I’ve done it my whole life. No one’s ever doubted my word, and I’ve been able to bring Democrats and Republicans together in the United States Congress to pass big things, to deal with big issues.”

Progressives however are now threatening to leave if Biden tries to impress moderates and never-Trump Republicans.

“It’s very hard to understand why after going through eight years of the Obama administration that Joe Biden thinks we’ll be able to carve out grand deals with Republicans,” said an activist to The Hill. “The way we’ll get Republicans to the table is by having a progressive movement in the Democratic Party that is strong enough to force them there.”

The Daily Wire continues:

That is, of course, unlikely. Although Sanders was the last remaining threat to Biden in the race for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, it appears his market-share has diminished since 2016. The Vermont socialist did not “expand the electorate” as he claimed, and his numbers with young voters and voters of color — two very important 2020 constituencies — declined from 2016 to 2020.

But if they can’t force Biden to the left on the campaign trail, progressive groups say, they’ll try to force Biden to the left in the White House, according to at least one far-left strategist: “We should be investing time in building a much more powerful movement that will have to, without a doubt, fight a President Biden and a tidal wave of corporate interests who never go away and will have the usual access to the White House.”
