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.

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.

"both sides" Did you mean "both cheeks of the same arse"? Right wing and right wingier? Fascist and fascist-lite? Please take the word "left" out of your mouth. You are misusing it for marginalization purposes... like the rest of the scourge of political bloviators.

Saying these things that I am guessing you think are making you look measured and reasonable is directly hurting people like me who need a rejection of corporate policy to survive. You should not feel good about this.

You might change your mind about Blinken if you look closer.

The Forced Hysterectomies started under the guy Biden picked to be Homeland Security Secretary. Alejandro Mayorkas

Biden is carefully crafting an Obama 3.0 administration. Nothing about that projects, even acknowledging, much less, hearing/listening to, the "Left".

This is precisely the issue. You cannot see that the election was largely about management of empire, who does it smoothly putting US libs to sleep? smh

Nominee to lead State Department Tony Blinken recently explained that Biden's pledge to "end the forever wars" means the US will reduce large-scale deployments while expanding secret wars waged by special forces and proxies. Watch the full exposé here: youtube.com/ivFFZ95EQvY
