Biden has adopted multiple Sanders and Warren plans; they make it sound like he's selling the store to neo cons. there's not much evidence of that.

there's a fucking antiracist leftist uprising and there's just no even vague effort to express any kind of solidarity.

now they're attackign the NYT for being too antiTrump. god forbid the news media accurately report on what a disaster trump is. the true left position is that they need to coddle fascists more!

the idea that there's a contradiction between solid journalism and relentless anti trumpism is...

they just really feel contempt for people who see Trump as a real threat. Will has a lot of chutzpah calling anyone's leftism shallow, ffs.

I sort of wondered how they'd handle Sanders endorsingn Biden, and apparently just ignoring it is the tactic they've picked.

here's Taibbi going in on 1619 project. claims it's meant to explain Trump by going back in US history, and says the Times called the election wrong. the people who didn't call the election wrong were a lot of Black people who know how much the US loves racism, you shit.

so yeah, he's against the 1619 project because it centers US history on racism, and he feels that reflects unfairly on Donald Trump, hero of the working class.

he is upset by the "extremely negativistic portrait".

Will is uncomfortable with this horseshit, as well he might be! Tries to reframe it as saying, well, if Clinton won we wouldn't have the 1619 project, so maybe we could say trump is good accelerationistically! let's do that instead, okay, Matt, please?
Show this thread -
but then he says that it's ridiculous to say that the country that wound't elect Clinton is a neo Nazi project. it's always 2016; nothing has happened since.

Taibbi starts babbling about how the 1619 project must be bad because elite media while he rambles on to his millionaire cohosts.

antielitism in defense of donald trump isn't antielitism, genius.

the 1619 project does not present america as an idea that has outlived its usefulness. what is this horseshit? the 1619 project is as much a celebration of American antiracism as a condemnation of American racism.

Amber says the 1619 problem is "deeply annoying to me". How dare it receive funding or be taught in school?

Amber is cherry picks historians who have disagreed with it to get on her high horse about how dare antiracism be taught in schoo curriculum.

ah, Amber hates Nikole Hannah-Jones for being too pro Biden, is apparently the issue.

this whole discussion is incredibly ignorant, contemptuous, and racist. what a debacle.

Amber's comparing Texas neoconfederate horseshit in textbooks to this. she calls antiracist pedagogy "liberal."

I mean, there it is. Chapo's defining antiracism as opposed to left movements.

Will is again trying to divert back to hating Biden and/or Clinton directly rather than just outright declaring that antiracist scholarship is a danger to the left.

the passion with which they denounce Biden is in stark contrast to how they talk about Trump.

Matt worrying that antiracism won't be reversible under Biden. Vote against Biden, or else we might have to keep some of the antiracism!
