Krugman on Biden's "radical modesty"

Maybe the most important thing about Biden's budget isn't the dollars it delivers but the dogma it dismisses https://t.co/fqMDYvYqdy

AOC retweeted this; some on the left do not at all like Biden's purported negotiation efforts on infrastructure bill:

If what I’m reading is true, I would have a very hard time voting yes on this bill.

$2 trillion was already the compromise. @POTUS can’t expect us to vote for an infrastructure deal dictated by the Republican Party. https://t.co/rdStGkTktw

Of course, it could just be threats for the purpose of keeping constituents happy, like Republicans also do.... in any case, they do not want to look supportive of Biden's efforts

Do you remember back when Tom "The Hammer" DeLay chased representatives to Oklahoma? Clicked when the speaker said "leave the building, not just the gallery" - with maybe that not enough.

Let’s muster every possible ounce of political courage and procedural jujitsu. Hold the line, y’all!

Texas GOP priorities (read whole thread - reminds me of witches after midnight in Macbeth)

Step one is complete. By 19-12 vote Senators agreed to resolution that allows them to add stuff into the election bill that were never previously discussed in House or Senate versions of SB7

Good examples of Woke attacking Biden attempting a unity meme:

Ease back on the hyperbole, chief. The idea of "American exceptionalism" has caused much pain and grief in the world. And read some Howard Zinn or Chomsky while you're at it to get the other side of the story.

...and that idea was Colonizing, and Genocide, and Slavery, and Oppression. Truly the foundation upon which our great nation was founded. We still pursue these ideas today!

Wasn't America founded through genocide of the natives, and on the backs of slave laborers, to enshrine the exclusive political franchise of the land owning class of white men that could only sustain an image of broad franchise through the imperialist notion of manifest destiny?

The US was born out of the idea and practice of white settler colonialism, the extermination of indigenous peoples and enslavement.
— Prof Emeritus C Omowale Simmons (@charles97564117) May 29, 2021

Indigenous nations would disagree with this premise. Also if you are talking about other nations that were colonised by Europeans to enrich themselves- you might have to add Canada, Australia and NZ for starters....

Just throwing this out there because Emma Zahn mentioned Lind's new writing in the recent past.

Just finished a quick read of Michael Lind’s The New Class War. Opposition to neoliberalism rooted in a recovery of national greatness looks to be a growing trend. This was based on material that first appeared in American Affairs. (1/2)

AA looks to be a project sympathetic to that line, coming out of the right but trying to lure some left elements. It’s partly funded by Hewlett’s after-neoliberalism initiative. You can see this in Biden & other Dems. It’s worrisome. (2/2)

WOW, he might actually know a thing or two about what he's doing politically!

Biden greatly underperformed with Hispanics in 2020, but polling shows a disproportionate gain with them over the first few months of his presidency compared with where he stood in the election. https://t.co/AGcDTLS6RO
