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.

I don't see it, Marianne. His picks are primarily the same people who helped Obama push right wing econ policies, terrorize immigrants, & expand the US war machine, with ties to Wall Street lobbying or Oil lobby.

Democracy grants the right to demand, but also in democracy you have to know that you don’t always get your way.

I like you but this is some fantasy wishful thinking BS. None of these picks are in any way an olive branch to the left. Stop being naive.
