      “Some say Democrats are angry...well I don’t believe it.” This man is gonna be the end of me. I’m curious how he thinks any reform of the founding inequalities he so dutifully mentions in the first excerpt was achieved...rainbows, smiles, & affable affection for the oppressors?https://twitter.com/Olivianuzzi/status/1129720696702230528 …

      Who IS this guy, suggesting that anger many feel at injustice & inequity & the suffering they cause is same as Trump’s punitive fury on behalf of himself & white patriarchal power? Anger at injustice has catalyzed transformative change; “unity” has not. Joe is deeply wrong.

      I wrote a book about this. It’s good, easy reading & it doesn’t bite; I wish Biden would read it. Along with @ProfessorCrunk & @schemaly & all the historians who have told the story of how angry people have spent their lives working to remake this nation.https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781501181795 …

      One more: he’s a politician. A purported expert IN POLITICS. Who does he think elected a Democratic house, historic numbers of first time candidates—many of them openly raging—LAST YEAR in the biggest wave since 1974? People in search of cheery unity with the Republican Party?

      If Biden is the Democratic nominee he'll repeat the worst mistakes of the 2016 Clinton campaign and not have many of her chief virtues.

          Come on. From a technical campaigning standpoint at the very least, this time there'll be the cautionary experience of '16 as warning of biggest pitfalls, eg ignoring key Midwestern states. But yes, at ideological level, gonna basically be a re-tread of same old centrist formula

          Much of the trashing of Hillary was on tactical stuff, not ideological stuff. The data is not really there to support the idea that her mainstream centrism led directly to her defeat. Not campaigning enough in certain swing states is not the same as being too centrist.

          IMO he will make different mistakes and still have a much better chance of winning, because he's a guy (among other qualities he is not responsible for).
