    This is not good. One thing progressive Dems need to press Biden on is a rejection of austerity, which would cripple the economy.https://twitter.com/ddayen/status/1251327773932613632 …

        i mean maybe he just doesn't like trump and that's why he's raising money for biden? like idk and the optics are reason alone not to do it, but this election will probably see a lot of people with bad records motivated more by ousting trump than hope of policy concessions.

        erskin bowles has been committed to slashing the welfare state for decades. i guarantee you, it is absolutely not the case that "he just doesn't like trump."

        I think you can relax. Austerity ain’t just around the corner.

        Wouldn’t it be better to get him elected first and then press him on whatever you want? Yeah, you give up a little leverage, but must defeat tRump.

        Austerity is one of the guiding principles of Biden’s entire fucking political career. He’s not going to be pressured out of it by a group of people who have already promised to vote for him no matter what.

        Biden will dive into Austerity head first not because he thinks it will help to win the election, but because he truly believes it’s the best course for America.

        Joe was also against gay marriage until he was for it and took action that helped make it a reality. He will listen to people. Truly, he is not perfect, but he cares, and he has listened before.
