Trump suspending mortgage foreclosures, demanding cash payments to Americans, now invoking the Defense Production Act to force private firms to produce needed supplies is incredible. Kind of a shell shock for anyone who reported on any economic policies in the Obama years.
Also @neeratanden, I do hope the strengths that the pro-Biden Democratic voters see hold up against Trump. Voters aren’t infallible. Dem primary voters, egged on by the media and folks such as yourself, picked the losing candidate in three of the past five presidential elections.
In an election where health care is the top issue, and every state so far prefers single payer to the current system, it's heartbreaking to see the vote turning out this way.
With tonight’s results it sounds like the Democratic Party, which spends half its time pretending to care about identity politics, is going to nominate the old white guy who happens to be going senile. Good luck in November.
There is an irreconcilable schism in the democratic party. It is the party of the professional class, well educated and well paid suburbanites. It also wants to be the party of the working class. The problem is they stopped even making overtures to the working class.
So it looks like Elizabeth Warren isn’t going to endorse anyone.
I’d say it’s deeply disappointing, but I’ve come to accept her inability to rise to the political moment. It’s sad and angering.
With Joe Biden, Michael Bloomberg doesn't have to worry about his wealth and power being challenged. Easy for him to drop out now and throw his support behind Biden.
Biden gave us the racist crack disparity sentencing, mass incarceration, Iraq War, bankruptcy bill and pushed to cut Social Security for decades. He’s a gaffe machine who constantly makes stuff up. All minimized by corporate cable news industry eager for a comeback kid narrative.
