We can push two buttons. We all push thousands of buttons every day. I think we keep forgetting its real life and we have more than just right now. I look forward to pushing every button I think might help, even if it means using both hands.

Why don’t you tell me how Biden can be part of any long-term socialist electoral strategy. His entire career, the party he is a veteran of and his function in the last career suggests he might be hostile to worker’s rights

long-term socialist electoral strategy

3 elections without a far right candidate winning and the overton window shifts. biden now. warren later. bernie eventually. And the fact that bernie will be dead by then is the point. The “Bernie” we’ll eventually get won’t be a 70 year old career politician.

The levers they bought work a certain way, pretending that electoral politics is a dark art we can’t study is just silly.
