Biden, though elected - as their candidate for the presidency of the United States?

11.11% The Democratic Socialists reserve the right to always be incredibly flexible in all matters pertaining to communicated core ideals.

88.89% The Democratic Socialists are long on hyperbolic promise, but way short on purposeful performance, ergo, they are grand hypocrites of the first order.

0% None of this really matters.
