    Jeet Heer Retweeted Barack Obama

    1. Obama's endorsement of Biden is really worth listening to. The amount of time Obama gives to making the case to Sanders supporters is a good indication of what Biden needs to do to bring the party together.https://twitter.com/BarackObama/status/1250088269502709762 …

        2. Bernie's supporters were attracted to him for a very specific policy agenda (M4A, free college, Green New Deal). Just having Sanders himself endorse Biden won't move enough people unless it is accompanied by genuine moves on these issues.

        Yeah, because before this, we had a huge shortage of disingenuous platitudes. Only thing holding us back.

        It's also 100% marketing and no substance or authenticity. Obama has a well established track record and there is absolutely no reason progressives should see him as anything but a hostile actor.

        why are people who cover politics professionally still saying this? they united the entire field in an unprecedented way and held plague elections to kill the left for a generation, and it worked. why would they hand out any concessions to us afterwards?

        Obama's actions in this primary speak thousands of times louder than whatever words he mewls after the fact, hard pass

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        He needs to sign on to #M4A at least rhetorically. We’re in a pandemic and the for-profit cartels are gouging patients and doctors to funnel more profits to the top. No excuse to not at least pretend to support it.

        Not one person on the left would believe it at this point. Biden doesn't even believe in the underlying philosophy of #MedicareForAll, that everyone deserves healthcare, much less the idea that the profit motive needs to be removed from our healthcare system.
