    Jeet Heer Retweeted David Weigel

    "Nothing will fundamentally change" is a reprise of Clinton's "America is already great" message of 2016: a promise of only tinkering with a fundamentally strong status quo. Trump is widely hated so I think Biden can win, but it's a weak message.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

        One the one hand, #VoteBlueNoMatterWho . On the other hand, we can do better. MUCH better. Hoping Biden gets primaried.

        Outlining that he has basically no interest in dealing with widespread inequality doesn't seem to be a message that will go over well with the base of his party

        Is Trump more widely hated than the Democratic party?

        I wonder if it's a reaction to the "fundamentally transforming" Obama quote that Republicans used as a cudgel from 2008-16. Hope not.

        It also guarantees, when nothing changes, that 2024 is ripe for something much worse.

        Do you think that the context (that Joe was talking to rich donors) chances the meaning of the gaffe? I was under the impression that he was saying that nothing would fundamentally change *for those donors*

        That’s how it reads to me. He’s telling his wealthy donors that they know he’s gonna raise their taxes but it won’t change their lifestyle

        Very weak. There's much more wrong with America than just Trump. The Senate majority leader, for instance. One of the most dastardly men to ever hold public office. Right down there with the worst of them.
