      Jeet Heer Retweeted Joe Biden

      This is a good tweet but it's undercut by the fact that the policy Biden is rightly criticizing here is advocated by one of his economic advisors. Biden needs to distance himself from the austerity advocates in his own camp.https://twitter.com/JoeBiden/status/1259855842041565186 …

      I have a better idea: give people coronavirus economic relief and don't hold their hard-earned benefits hostage. https://twitter.com/JStein_WaPo/status/1259542211789717506 …

      I assume this is a reference to sarin? I was curious what you were referring to. so I briefly went down this rabbit hole. the evidence that she’s an advisor seems to be approximately one micron thick. Is there actual evidence for this?

      The abolitionists under Lincoln, the CIO under FDR, and the civil rights movement under JFK/LBJ didn't achieve their goals by being satisfied with early concessions. They kept pushing forward.

          Agreed. Jeet is Lincoln, FDR, JFK/LBJ all wrapped into a single person--who nitpicks about advisors they don't like producing policies they agree with.

          That’s a weird interpretation. Lincoln, FDR, JFK, and LBJ are Biden in this analogy

          Those examples have one thing in common -- all three Presidents were already in office.

          Those leaders were under pressure before they were elected president.

          For the moment, making sure Biden is elected so you can then push him forward might be a proprity.

          The whole thing of the conservative movement was that, no matter what, they *always* supported the nominee.

          I'm pretty sure social movements were putting pressure on those politicians even before they became president.
