    Jeet Heer Retweeted David Weigel

    The most generous interpretation of this is that Biden is saying that if the rich back him they'll pay a little bit more taxes but still keep their power & social status while defusing some of the dangerous populist anger against income inequality.https://twitter.com/daveweigel/status/1141424664763412480 …

    I had thought the Biden “nothing will fundamentally change” quote was a paraphrase, but no, he indeed said just that at a fundraiser this week. pic.twitter.com/2A0chtsnDw

        While the least charitable is that he's straight up saying the hordes will come for them if they don't support him?

        And they STILL tried to get rid of FDR. They thought he was a traitor to his class.

        Which is the Michael Bloomberg pitch to the same audience. Now you know why Howard Schultz is reserving the right to re-enter the race if Joe isn’t the nominee.

        it's not great when "I will explicitly soften the contradiction to keep you, the rich, in control and not seriously harmed" is the most charitable reading

        As bad as the optics here, until polling shows otherwise, he’s gonna keep playing the compromise/moderate game. It’s clearly not hurting him

        What’s #dangerous about being #angry about the enormous #inequality in the so called #LandOfTheFree? Re: @JoeBiden vows to maintain the #StatusQuo, showing why #CorporateDems are completely out of touch.

        Actually pretty clear he wants to diffuse the anger by reducing the inequality. Standard of living for mega rich wouldn’t change if you tripled their taxes. So he’s right there. Stlll - I prefer Warren!
