The right needs the left and the left needs the right to get anything of consequence done in the country. Without both sides buying in, we get stuck with each proceeding administration actively trying to undo the prior's policy. It is pointless and why I will never be ok with the polarization we have. We need to move forward out of the quicksand.

They are easily manipulated to cut off their own heads and in return get nothing.


Ain't that the gospel...

I was right.

LOL, "progressive left" indeed. You guys are pretty politically ignorant and I suppose you get what you deserve. Bernie should never have wasted his time trying to save the Democratic Party.

As for the humble minority Ivy League lawyer, she's probably just being put forward to draw fire so Biden can try and get some of his other picks through. She's disliked on the right and left.

Bernie agrees with what we are saying. He is an intelligent man.

I was right.

It was true yesterday and it is true today:



She runs a think tank. Outside, she would air her thoughts: good & bad.
On the inside, she can be controlled and directed.

I don't think Bernie agrees with what you guys are saying at all, and he's no friend of Neera Tanden. I think he's a good and decent man, but he's been misguided in his efforts to work with and within the Democratic Party.
Funny how much you guys love to bring him up, but frankly besides his role as a senator he isn't really relevant anymore.

If you're intent on punching left, you'd better get after AOC.

As for Tanden, I don't think she'll be confirmed.

Take a look at AOC's voting record and tell me she is still far left.

You have to work with what you have.

Bernie and all but his most dingbat supporters understood that Trump must be defeated. Do we know any dingbat bernie bro's around here that didn't?

She's not "far left", neither is Bernie. They are centrists by international standards; the USA is a right wing country. Suggesting an English style healthcare system makes you a communist here.

So congratulations on beating trump. Now the Dems get to try and deal with the human and economic toll of COVID while the forces that created trump get to regroup for their next run. And they will blame all things great and small on Biden and will call him and his supporters left wing dingbat Biden "bros". I know a few of those

I'm not gonna keep saying it but it's FUCKING UNDENIABLE, and a fucking HUGE change.
Pretty much the only change we got, but the one that really mattered most.

Very few thought that Biden would be much different when it comes to money.
But he is a decent human being and not a criminal lying sack of shit.

edit
I honestly don't know much Neera Tanden yet though.
Trying to catch up.

And maybe "less shitty" may be weak sauce, but in a nation where over 70million have serious cognitive issues, maybe we just fucking take it this time. We came damn close to "a lot more shitty".

Quite possibly. Her twitter feed might do her in, I understand she's deleted 1,000 tweets recently. The irony is not lost on anyone compared to trump, but fact is trump didn't need senate votes from the Dems to take his seat.

Assuredly tweets about brainiacs like Tom Cotton. Russki bent about a minority woman nominee that dared to be vocal but doesn't say boo over trump's carnival barker racist silver spoon nominees that McConnell (another of Russki's favorite people) rubber stamped.

Nah, I'm calling out the attempt to install a well known deplorable neolib who is physically and verbally abusive as well as a proponent of cutting Social Security. Seems you have no counter argument or don't know who she is, so you'd prefer to do a big "whatabout". McConnell is your problem, not mine. Your people flushed like 50 million bucks trying to beat him with conservative fighter jet lady.
