Thread for Joe Biden & Kamala Harris' current spin

It’s time to put away the harsh rhetoric, lower the temperature, and listen to each other again.

To make progress, we must stop treating our opponents as our enemy.

We are not enemies. We are Americans.

Meanwhile, 3 hrs. ago, Bernie tweeted a 10 minute video speech in which explains actual very specific points he is going to fight for as a Senator that he says MUST be done in the first 100 days of the Biden administration. Jumping the gun as it were, before they can get to it, no Biden-Harris generalities for him. He uses the words "bold and "aggressively" several times:

These are unprecedented times and Congress and the Biden administration must respond in an unprecedented way.

If we are going to restore faith in the American political system, we must act boldly. pic.twitter.com/yNJqw9W0RR

I think the best thing is if he leaves in a huff and sulks like a petulant child.

They can have a picture-in-picture of him sitting in the corner with a dunce cap on the whole inauguration.

I agree with @AndrewYang. Including a stimulus check is the most effective relief. You can even make part of it a #vaccinestimulus check to create an incentive to get vaccinated. https://t.co/4IRPfBzKBb

I am VERY encouraged by what I have seen so far; this is spin of a kind and very good spin! It seems as if they are keeping up with the vacancies and chaos in the Trump administration and are timing their announcements of cabinet to coincide. First I thought I might be imagining it, but it's happened too many times now. This is the "help is on the way" message, it is pre-emptive messaging not just to the whole country but the whole world, to stop anything from tumbling down too much more. I.E.. don't worry, Americans, hold on tight, these grownups will arrive soon; and to the rest of the world: ignore the clowns, things will be back to normal soon, and you bad actors better not try anything in the interim or you'll be sorry...

I've not seen a comment more on topic and it's very intriguing:

The Biden campaign ran to the left of the Clinton and Obama campaigns on virtually every conceivable issue. By precisely one measure did it tack to the center: rhetorically. https://t.co/TaF8oZpF4u
