Circling Vultures: The far left is at war with Biden and it's getting out into the open

We think of Joe Biden as a Democrat wretch whose main focus is on thwarting President Trump.
But have you gotten a load of the war he's having with the far left of his party? Those guys seems to be circling in for some kind of kill.
Three things leap out offhand.
First, socialist Bernie Sanders let the cat out of the bag about why there's been no stimulus checks for ordinary Americans bearing the burden of the COVID shutdowns, which is extremely bad public relations for Joe Biden's Democrats.
According to the
New York Post:
Sen. Bernie Sanders admitted that fellow Democrats, led by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, were responsible for delaying
urgently needed coronavirus relief by walking away from the White House’s offer of a $1.8 trillion coronavirus package.
In an interview with
CNN’s Jake Tapper Monday, the socialist two-time presidential candidate noted Pelosi’s hypocrisy in endorsing a smaller
bipartisan $908 million deal last week after rejecting the twice-as-large proposal from President Trump in October.
“Democrats walked away from that deal because they wanted $2.2 trillion,” Tapper said.
“That’s right!” Sanders (I-Vt.) responded, confirming it was Democrats, not Republicans, who were to blame for months of inaction.
That's bound to undermine Democrats and their popularity in Congress. After all, they made a huge whoop-dee-do about President Trump not signing off on their $2.2 trillion pork-laden stimulus proposal, which had countless goodies for their union and blue city cronies in it, with Team Trump offering $1.8 billion instead, passing instead nothing for the suffering citizens, they chose instead to cynically go political, offering zero aid to Americans with the aim of harming President Trump's reelection effort.
