1. The problem with this whole framing is that Biden *didn't* call out extremists on his own side, just bothsides violent extremism in general - exactly as Trump tried to do after Charlottesville, except that unlike Biden, Trump then had to answer hostile press questioning.https://twitter.com/jonathanchait/status/1300753581595930625 …

4. Which is a cynical form of political game that may well work, but there is nothing admirable about it. And if it does work, it will be because the media won't try to pin him down on it.

"Trump should be held to a different standard because of his different history" is a fairer argument, but it requires you to admit openly that you're holding the two to different standards.https://twitter.com/earldean71/status/1300808903744196614 …

6. In terms of denouncing specific people & groups on the left side for riots, looting, arson, & assaults in the streets, a lot of progressive & liberal pundits are trying to give Biden credit not only for things *he* hasn't said, but things *they* won't say, either.

Who precisely would you have him call out? Should he call out by name every individual arrested for arson or looting? Or would you like him to call out the mysterious “Antifa” which is more a fictional right wing boogeyman than an organization like the alt right Proud Boys.

The Sistah Souljah thing might have been "effective politics" but it was all bullshit: one of the most racist things I ever saw a President do until Trump took over.
