In 2020, pressure on Biden translated into Kamala Harris becoming VP and Kentanji Brown Jackson becoming a Supreme Court Justice. In 2024, the pressure on Biden will likely translate into nothing. No change, no compromise, no concessions. We just get more aging white mediocrity. So that’s great.

I'm sorry, but an identity politics hire with a history of keeping prisoners incarcerated for forced labor profiteering... isn't successful pressure. "Not Defund the Police... hire TopCop."

I don’t disagree. But it is what happened.

Yeah. Just so very angry with the meager idpol representation in place of tangible progress.

I can feel your anger all the way over here, tbh. I had to re-read your reply because like, we agree, right?

It's an insult tbh. Pretending no one will look up her history. Let alone Chesa Boudin and the new idpol developments.

Performative v. substantive. Half measures and means testing, masquerading as bold policy solutions and strong constituent support.

In 2020, Biden also condescendingly scolded black leaders in one of the most racist political diatribes I've ever seen. He screamed at them, "You guys are going to have to start working more with Hispanics, who make up a larger portion of the population than y'all do!" That was being conciliatory?

Sure, but Kamala is still best positioned to benefit - quite literally - from that “aging white mediocrity” no? If Biden wins, much better odds on her becoming president than any other imagined future scenario
