Life expectancy has decreased for a third straight year in our country. We need Democrats who will fight racism and inequality with solutions that match the scale of the crises we're facing — not piecemeal compromises with corporate America and the party of Donald Trump.

So, in a nutshell, the Justice Democrats don’t think that Biden is far-left enough for their liking. This is interesting for a series of reasons.
Democrats and Far-Leftism
Since the past year, Democrats have faced censure for what many Americans view as extremism within their party. In many regards, Democrats brought this upon themselves by championing for radical policies which stand virtually no chance of garnering bipartisan support.
Some examples of the radical policies in question include ending private healthcare, doing away with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and more. There exists a real debate about whether or not going as far left as possible is the best route to beating President Trump in 2020.

Thus far, the former vice president has not publically responded to the Justice Democrats. However, judging from his announcement video, Biden seems confident in his ability to take on President Trump in 2020. This is in spite of the fact that the former vice president has unsuccessfully attempted to become president twice before; his failed bids occurred during the 1988 presidential election and the 2008 presidential election.
