Biden has a historic opportunity to go full FDR here, to infuse massive economic hope and opportunity into the life of the average America.

Good Heavens, Williamson you are indeed detached from reality.

Except he just nominated hawks and war criminals to his foreign policy team, signaling a continuation of Obama's war escalation. I wish the left would just admit they've been had and stop wishing for a Biden that doesn't exist.

If we ask, he’ll say he has no empathy for us. If we demand, he’ll shoot us in the knees(if we’re lucky). I’ll never give up but am 110% certain he was installed to command as austere an admin as his corporate cronies and their anti-worker think tanks can possibly imagine.

C’mon, Marianne, no amount of cajoling, wheedling, or appeals to a higher nature Biden doesn’t possess is going to turn him into FDR. All you’re doing is getting people’s hopes up so they can get crushed. It’s feet in the streets time.

These tweets just remind me that too many people like yourself are in denial of how screwed we are. We know it’s all one party not two- We know votes haven’t mattered- We know they cheat- We know elites choose the POTUS- We know they care only about $- People do not fight back.

I'm assuming you wrote this before his Treasury pick was announced.

An opportunity that his long record and neoliberal cabinet pick after neocon cabinet pick are showing us that he'll allow to slip him by... (I'd like to be wrong, but I'm a firm believer in "when someone shows you who they are, believe them.")

Are you not paying attention to his cabinet picks?
