      Listening to this Inaugural Address so far, you'd have no idea what this administration is planning to do or what sorts of people will staff it.

      It would be nice to believe that Biden will actually govern as if the opposition is not a domestic enemy.

      Biden's willingness to speak the language of old-timey American patriotism & civics & national goodness - the stuff that progressives sneer at - has been an important asset for him. The problem comes when that collides with his governance.

          Biden's promise to "re-engage with the world" will raise the question of Biden's foreign policy: involvement in foreign conflicts has typically been the biggest wedge in the coalitions of previous Democratic presidents.

          Biden: "I will always level with you." A bold pledge for a man with a record of decades of fabulism.

          This tweet would be valid in 2015. After four years of Trump, I have no idea how you can tweet this

          Right--we sneer at that. Like, say, my friend of over 50 years, Gene Sheer, *who wrote the song Biden just cited.*

          Ever heard of FDR? It pains you to think progressives could have an equal claim to American patriotism, civics, and national goodness. And that, in a nutshell, is the core of your flaws as a political commentator.

          We sneer at patriotism--lol. It's just a patriotism you can't understand because it represents actually living up to our ideals. What a deformed/deluded world you live in.https://twitter.com/yeselson/status/1351936484912336898?s=20 …

          tRump spoke the language of DIVISION then proceeded to govern accordingly. I know which one I'll take. You can have tRump. The @GOP OWNS him.

          Also, his entire speech sounded like a rejection of the Trump-coalition. I detest Trump, but if a person is going to call for unity, then he has to sacrifice some of the interests of his coalition for those of another.
