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.

We are geniuses when it comes to selfishness. And reluctant when it comes to political benevolence...

There are some that are acceptable, the rest are a swampish nightmare.

Yeah.. I'm not seeing that. Identity politics is not inherently progressive. It's an image.

I love you Marianne, but sometimes you say things that are embarrassing and delusional. This is like your original stance on Assange. Biden has picked NO ONE OF WORTH. Had he picked someone of worth, you would be living in DC.

The Universe was in chaos, a bit of calmness is here now, let’s get ready for the next round... AOC will lead the new charge to help Bernie.

Biden’s picks show he’s trying to please the center and the center right. His picks are a straight fuck you to progressives and the left.
