Have a couple who have been anti Biden, but they're really just in shock right now. Joe has really hit the ground running for the Left Wing of the Democratic party. His messaging and image is still centrist, but he's governing from the left and strikes a populist tone that is resonating with most Bernie supporters.

Of course they still want more and blame Biden somehow for the $15 MW not being included in the bill, but I think most Bernie fans are tentatively very happy with what he's gotten done so far. Really been great on the environment so far.

I do think Joe going out and talking about this bill is needed, I still don't think the average leftist gets that this bill has a ton in it that leftists have been working for for decades.

"In my view, this is the most significant legislation for working people that has been passed in decades," Bernie Sanders said
