1/ Once a president is elected, no matter how much you like him or her or how much good they’re doing, the job of citizenship is to continually add your voice to those the president hears within the culture. That’s a serious course correction needed, particularly among Democrats.

2/ A big mistake we made with Obama was that we liked him so much, once he got in office we let things unfold without decrying the increasingly corporatist direction he was taking. The institutional pull on a prez once in office is extraordinary & our voices need to remain strong

3/ When a president does something we like it’s a reason to acknowledge it; when an administration is taken a direction we don’t like or we want something else, it’s a reason to say so. That isn’t being negative; it’s being a citizen.

No one is dumping.

So, like, if a president promised $2k checks and then turned around and said oh no i meant $1400, i would be justified in calling said president out, right?

Progressives must pressure Biden to END U.S. participation in wars, and military action in other countries. Progressives must not be SILENT on this.
