Close your eyes and visualize these two things:
1) President Biden debating Trump.
2) Me debating Trump.
That’s it. That’s the tweet.

A lot of our core campaign principles are in this interview.

The people who lecture me on the importance of everyone rallying behind Joe Biden even in the primary tend to be those who:
Have adequate health care, can afford to send their kids to college, can live on just one job, make more than $15/hr, aren't afraid their kids might get shot at a traffic stop, aren't rationing their insulin, can afford child care, and probably watch a lot of MSNBC.
Most importantly, they do not make up numbers big enough to win in 2024.

As long as we’re okay with accepting less, we’re going to keep getting less.
From universal healthcare to tuition-free college & tech school to a guaranteed living wage, those things should be for us - as for the citizens of every other advanced democracy - the absolute minimum we are willing to accept from our government.

The president could introduce a Medicare4All bill, use marching rights to lower certain drug prices and unilaterally close some of those 750 military installations around the world * if he wanted to.*

True in some cases (Build Back Better)… but let’s be clear:
Manchin and Sinema did not make Biden approve the Willow project, or grant more oil drilling permits than even Trump did.
The parliamentarian had no actual political power to stop Biden from raising the minimum wage across the board - he chose to let her.

When I talk about a progressive policy the president ignored or abandoned, someone always jumps in to say, “But he didn’t have the votes to pass it! You have to have Congress!”🧵

I agree. And tech school as well.
The purpose of public policy should be to support people in thriving, giving them as much opportunity as possible to actualize their potential and pursue their greater good.
Plus every advanced democracy except ours has tuition free higher education. The fact that we do not is nothing but a financial scam.
