Biden’s picks so far show he’s at least trying to please the left as well as the center. But it’s *because* the left is refusing to be quiet that he realizes he has to! Progressives laying claim to their views and demanding that they be heard is not negativity; it’s democracy.

There is very little pleasing the left so far with his picks. They are not horrible and they definitely have credentials but they are not progressives

I didn't say they were. But I should have said "hear" instead of "please."

These comments are nothing but sour grapes. Can't you just enjoy Victory for one moment! The Progressive Movement is the Future of this Country but right now Healing and Unifying is the Priority. You can choose a Progressive for the next Election.

M: who do you think are “left” picks? I don’t see any.

I didn’t say they were “left”; I said they’re picks that show he’s hearing both sides. Yellen (not from Wall St.). Blinken (diplomacy/alliances) Mayorkas (created DACA). Thomas-Greenfield (Africa experience). I see all of them as possible to lobby in more humanitarian directions.
