I'm not even sure what point you're trying to make anymore, man. Enjoy sparring with ChrisL over semantics.
Chill Strick. I was being argumentative. I was just clarifying.

So should Biden reach out to AOC (a member of DSA) or not?
Biden added a plank for free public college for everyone making $125K or less.
Biden wants to lower Medicare Eligibility to 60 and add a public option for people under 60. (regardless of what AOC says, Hillary was proposing a buy in to Medicare (which is essentially just a version of the public option) at 55.
There are two examples right off the top of my head.
This is not even close to Accurate. Surprising for somebody who complains about others not paying attention to policyexpanding health care access to people 60+ (Clinton was 50+)
means tested debt relief proposal
the first is a joke; the second is intriguing

May be semantics, but the DSA is not an electoral party.
But your members vote. If they don't, then they should STFU about what they want.
Those are arguably the two most significant bedrock policies of the Sanders presidential campaignThose are the two proposals to date. There haven't been others yet.

I think that it would be in his interest to contact a very popular young politician who is especially popular with demographics he didn't do well with in the primary but will need in the general, yes
What do you think?
Maybe you should read Biden's tax plan which is actually quite progressive in a lot of ways is very similar to Elizabeth Warren's.Sort of, although I'm far more concerned with our disgusting tax system.

Biden's plan would forgive all undergraduate tuition-related federal student debt for borrowers who earn up to $125,000 a year and who attended community college or four-year public colleges and universities. The federal government would cover monthly payments for borrowers until the forgivable amount was paid off under his proposal, which would apply to borrowers who attended private HBCUs or minority-serving institutions.
"I believe that as we are being plunged into what is likely to be one of the most volatile and difficult economic times in this country’s recent history, we can take these critical steps to help make it easier for working people to make ends meet," Biden wrote. "Senator Sanders and his supporters can take pride in their work in laying the groundwork for these ideas, and I’m proud to adopt them as part of my campaign at this critical moment in responding to the coronavirus crisis."
In addition to the newly announced proposal, Biden has backed a plan from Senator Elizabeth Warren to immediately cancel a minimum of $10,000 of student debt per person.
Biden writes:
"Under this concept, Americans would have access, if they choose, to Medicare when they turn 60, instead of when they turn 65. Medicare benefits would be provided to them as they are to current Medicare recipients. This would make Medicare available to a set of Americans who work hard and retire before they turn 65, or who would prefer to leave their employer plans, the public option, or other plans they access through the Affordable Care Act before they retire."
In addition, he says, "the Biden Medicare-like public option — as well as other subsidized private plans available to individuals through the Affordable Care Act — would remain available."
Seems like the DSA has already rejected Biden, so why would he?

So, you want to not participate but also want your policies to be enacted. What a lazy, whining load of crap that is.
