You want to judge Biden, judge HIS ACTIONS, HIS POLICIES, not who his foot soldiers are. That's where the pudding is at


But what's the advantage of bringing on players from the other team that don't agree with our playbook? We have our own players who are already on board and capable. When do Republicans EVER return the favor? I'll tell you. It's NEVER. They never do it.

Remember when Obama tried to "unite the country." How'd that go? As I recall, not too well for Obama. They pretty much spit in his face. All of them. I think we have more work to do before we extend a hand to them. In fact, I don't see why we should do it at all. Make them come to us. In the meantime, we should just go about our business and doing our thing.

Yikes. Then again, a fitting end to a failure of this administration.

And this is what people wanted four more years of? :crazy: Can't even book the right place. :noway:

Biden knows everyone in Washington and he knows who is competent and can help him govern. I find your reflexive fear of Biden creating some kind creepy neo-liberal jellyfish man-thing of an administration not constructive.

Just as a reminder, my counsel throughout this has borne out. After Biden took the lead in the primary race, I was the one who aggressively touted the need for Bernie and Warren to infiltrate Biden and the DNC immediately and push their leverage to get more favorable policies. While the left was descending into a temper tantrum that's exactly what they did.

So when I tell you that this is a historical moment like very few others in the history of this nation, I'm counseling that we see how much of this zeitgeist Biden is down with before predicting anything. It is the prudent attitude of support to take into this. If he fails to satisfy you after the first 100 days then you'll be able to analyze that. But, right now, I think any of us who try to pre-judge this particular administration are just pissing in the wind.

Again, the election was just called today so relax man. You're not doing yourself any favors winding up all over again. We still have to get through ten weeks of the Trump chit show.

Kasich didn't bring home the bacon. Stacy Abrams did. She has the power and the president's ear, not Kasich.

This is going to kill the democrats if they keep going with this idea. They need to go further left and embrace the progressives, most americans want the things progressives want. (healthcare, better college prices/or free, etc)
