    What's interesting is the critique of the Democrats that the left made in 2009-2012 is now Dem conventional wisdom.https://twitter.com/DavidKlion/status/1368956784627642370 …

        I mean you have Joe Manchin voting for a $1.9 trillion stimulus bill and talking about the parameters that would let him vote for a $4 trillion infrastructure bill. That's a tremendous change.

        The left needs to own its victories in order to push further. Bernie & the Squad get that. I wish more left commentators would too.

        Apparently someone was listening and reading. Also, getting crushed in 2010 and 2014 mid-terms has concentrated some minds for 2022.

        Much like with Iraq they eventually get there after about a ten year delay. But in all cases the people who were right from the beginning will never get any credit. It’s just treated as something the leadership independently discovered and they’re the first to do so.

        Rather significantly, a lot of the left during 2010-12 *is* the conventional Democratic party today. Most notably "the Squad," but there's been a whole generation of young staffers & party stalwarts since then who were radicalized by what they saw during those years.

        Some of the loudest voices making the "stimulus is too small" critique in 2009 were people the left now considers to be centrist neolibs--like Krugman. https://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/01/06/stimulus-arithmetic-wonkish-but-important/ …pic.twitter.com/4ks5zngt0l

        In fairness, in 2009, there wasn't a history of the GOP voting unanimously against every proposal from a Democratic president to help the American people. 8 years of nothing but "nope" from the GOP for everything Obama offered to help the American people is now the experience.

        Obama bent over backwards to get GOP votes in the Senate and House because he naively thought Republicans should also be interested in getting the country out of a historic recession; he got none in the House and two in the Senate.
