Reminder: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.

The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

We don't even have the great Black hope, 'change you can believe in' guy. Just his flunky chosen to prove that 'nothing will fundamentally change.'

What's after Biden?
The long game.

@rbreich
I remember your telling a story of suggesting some 'progressive' policy to President Bill Clinton and his rolling his eyes at you. You moved on soon after.

@Silversalty @rbreich It’s very funny when people say stuff like this because Obama said in an earlier era he would have been a Republican and on most issues he was the neoliberal asshole that many of y’all think Biden is.

I mean he put Larry Summers in charge of financial policy and did more drone strikes than Bush.
