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.”

Janet Yellen is not from Wall Street.

Marianne, let’s not do this. Janet Yellen is from the Brookings Institution, which is a corporatist think tank.

So then the strategy is to criticize everything they do even before they’ve done it? What I want from a Treasury Secretary is immediate economic relief for tens of millions of people! Her words were “There is a huge amount of suffering out there. The economy needs the spending.”

Someone needs to ask them how they measure the economy. The fact of the matter: the economy is measured by the GDP. If they're looking at that, then #NoHelpComing. If you heard anyone use the word "poverty", let me know. Their only goal is "the economy" & that ain't us.

You realize that could just mean something ala TARP right? The economy isn't people struggling to put food on their tables to these jackals.

You can do all the wishful foolish hope and change posting you want, but your pie in the sky politics suck, Marianne.

He's criticizing Biden's cabinet picks. Don't worry, they'll get their chance to govern and prove us wrong. However I think it's clear what's coming and it isn't economic populism.

Wow. You don’t address the issue and then throw smoke bombs and gaslight. You are dishonest. 100% dishonest. You might tell yourself you aren’t. You know how to lie to yourself, everyone else is easy.

Sweet-talking people also isn’t a strategy. Hand on heart, if I thought that would work, I’d back this approach 100%. Conversely, offering criticism that’s based in **fact** will NOT destabilize the plans Biden & his cabinet are making. If Biden wants to be a FDR, he will be.

I’m sorry to say that fear got the better of the majority of our high profile left leaning “leaders“. You are all just going to have to watch and suffer through. All the denial in the world won’t change the inadequacy of Biden‘s leader ship.
