Why Des progressives need to chill out over Biden.

The constant balking at Joe will split the crucial black voter that Dems cannot win without. The black vote is a solid block, that had it voted as they usually do, would have brought it home for Hillary in MI and PA. It was divided by purity seekers and we got Trump. If it is divided again, we will still have Trump and McConnell. Play the long game for the 2020 election and than hold the winner's feet to the fire. We have to be more strategic than we were in 2016.
