This is possible, but I don't think Biden and his handlers want to rock the boat this much, this fast. They want a controlled wind-down of American resistance to neoliberalism, and this ensures it is not controlled. Dem elites had plenty of possible radicals; they chose Biden.https://twitter.com/gloamingwhale/status/1276631429582065665 …

Reparations and more diversity seminars will be expected. They will work to ensuring permanent blue control, but I don't think too overtly. More deniable things like DC statehood than court packing. And not a full opening of the borders. More, but not a full realignment.

The liberal elite got cocky after Obama and Trump ended up almost upsetting the cart. I don't think they're going to risk that again. BLM and antifa will be bought off with plush sinecures. Another war is almost a guarantee though.

You see Yglesias and a few others like him expressing concern. They're speaking for the elite; the elite want to terrorize white middle class enough so they don't get uppity but they don't want it to go so far as they become a threat to the elite or push wmc to resistance.

Perhaps. But I think if the left and neoliberalism come into conflict neoliberalism will win.https://twitter.com/CovfefeAnon/status/1276758953502871552?s=19 …

Neoliberalism has money and status. They will hand out cushy jobs, generous contracts, and lots of freebies. Leftist leaders will take them and create patronage systems. They will become a different flavour of neoliberalism, like neocons and libertarianshttps://twitter.com/CovfefeAnon/status/1276761097597583360?s=19 …

Covfefe Anon @CovfefeAnonReplying to @FreeNorthernerNeoliberals have no weapons to fight leftists because the principle of leftist cooperation is "always defer to the person with the leftmost viewpoint". Neolibs normally manage this by strategically ignoring leftists but when they conflict, they lose. Look at the takeover of NYT2 replies 0 retweets 5 likesShow this thread -

The system is still strong. A half-year ago the big leftist push was Medicare for All. It was everywhere. Biden went "lol, nope" in March. Then, even in a Chinese plague, the issue has basically disappeared except for the occasional empty talk.https://twitter.com/CovfefeAnon/status/1276763028537606144?s=19 …

Replying to @FreeNortherner
As the joke goes; Medicare for all and free college is the status quo for (D) vote banks. I'll grant you that none of the new left candidates got everyone in line but I think that's more due to the coalition fracturing - loss of asibayya - than the strength of the "centrists"

The left isn't ever attached to any policy - it's just "smash <something> and loot in the chaos" that being quite literal in the crudest possible way now.
