      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.

          Yes! And, I would add, doing so would open up space for left electeds to do the same.

          isn't it easier for many commentators to continue complaining instead of accepting new realities and evolving their points of view?

          Bernie is happy with this package. The squad is still whining as if they don’t care that families get thousands more in benefits. States get bailed out, Vaccine programs are funded and schools get protection funding

          We give these people jobs with our votes and pay them with our taxes. Celebrating the scraps we get tossed once in a while to keep people from burning down rich neighborhoods is why we keep getting scraps as concessions and not a healthy sustainable economic system.

          Im sorry, what? Where is the victory, because I think its dumb to claim victory when we asked for Biden to keep his campaign promises, but he didnt. Claim victory means giving them credit for doing something for us when they didnt, its a terrible idea

          The left are so perceptive because they engage in critique. The centre engages in navel-gazing, and you want the left to emulate that? The Iraq war discourse shows it’s a media problem, not a leftist one. The left were right, but media continues to highlight those who were wrong.

          There’s almost nothing left commentators enjoy doing more than saying ‘I told you so’, but if they’re not getting op-eds or on cable news, they can’t impact the discourse contemporarily or after the fact. Media insulates centrism against any delegitimisation on any basis.
