This is an interview with one of the founders of the justice dems who is also AOC's chief of staff.

https://www.politico.com/news/magaz...egy-2020-444401

quote:

“Biden ran a historically progressive campaign in terms of what he talked about doing. His whole ‘build back better’ plan talks about a multitrillion-dollar project of rebuilding America’s economy,” says Chakrabarti. “Politically, I think it’s very smart. What makes me optimistic is the fact that he even campaigned on this.”

quote:

Yeah. I think it’s different and it’s not. So, from the start, I don’t actually know if I would … I have never thought of myself as a “left” or “progressive.”

Like, the stuff that we’re proposing — the “Green New Deal” — it’s sort of basic economic development, which is not a partisan thing in any other country. It became a “progressive” thing to suggest Hamiltonian economics, which is weird loop of the brain, but whatever.

We’re proposing this as kind of a unifying thing for the country. My approach — speaking just as myself — has always been: We’re going to present a solution. We’re going to show there’s no reason not to do the solution. And then, if leaders don’t do it — with no excuse — we have to pressure them. Then, of course you have to do sit-ins; you have to show that they’re not doing it, because then they’ll at least get embarrassed into doing it. I hope they don’t have to be embarrassed into doing it; I hope they will lead.

I think Biden has a historic chance to be an FDR-style leader who isn’t just relying on pressure to do the next bit.

lmao

How anyone has faith in these people left is beyond me. Their leadership is just either cosmically stupid or think everyone they are scamming is.

Stuff like this is why I think that the only two possibilities with AOC (and most of these people) is that they're either deliberately dishonest/deceptive or have such staggeringly poor judgement that there's no difference.

My best guess is that they just choose to tell themselves that a bunch of progress is being made, because that way they don't have to change what they're doing.

like even if they fell for the “we must defeat trump at all costs” scam guess what? trump lost! so why defend Biden any more?

unless their goal wasn’t really to defeat trump but to crush any leftward movement in the democratic party

I think its more likely people like AOC started out believing in the need for leftwing reforms, but then the consultant class gets hold of them and explains whats 'realistic' and 'achievable' and suddenly they're talking about 'access' to resources and nodding their head along to neoliberal rhetoric. Brainworms are contagious.

Yeah, I agree with this. I think "Trump is a unique threat that we must stop no matter the cost" was pretty pervasive, and it's had lasting effects.

i'm going to be a contrarian and say that, while these people are dumb as poo poo, it's a good thing that even dumb rear end DC staffers think FDR style liberalism is 'common sense.' ten years ago the 'common sense' among this particular strata of PMC dipshits was considerably further to the right

I mean, FDR style liberalism was inadequate liberal reforms of a profoundly broken system leading to the the current status quo. Biden seems perfectly in line with being an FDR type leader. He doesn't need a wheel chair cuz his brain is broken rather than his body though.
