Biden keeps saying he wants to be president for all Americans, but his corporatist cabinet picks show he will be president for Wall Street and Americans who are comfortable with the status quo. We need revolutionary change and instead we got “nothing will fundamentally change.”

I can't say there won't be stimulus, but if we're going on her record, she aligned with same failed policies that the Dems never give up on. It just seems pointless to expect anything else.

She will not do a damn thing except offer platitudes like it’s still 2008. A system beholden to corporatists doesn’t care about the worker. If it did, people would be receiving a check every month for the foreseeable future.

You’re right. Let’s see how well those words age.
