Something smug about Kamala's delivery that always bothers me. Something more than "I got this" confidence. Maybe I'm reading her wrong.

Obama's talk: Says he's going to talk to undecided voters, but what he's saying doesn't seem pitched to win over undecided voters. Seems pitched to inspire Dem base.

Not saying you can't raise incomes at the bottom (arguably necessary for social equality too). But even that may require sacrificing some overall GDP (eg by restricting trade that lowers U.S. unskilled wages).

Does anybody actually think a Biden presidency will "undo the vicious inequality of income" of the past few decades? How'd 8 years of Obama do in that regard? There's an alternative to focusing on income inequality–focus on social equality https://t.co/By1MpO0Rk2 https://t.co/xN2Sa2UjgA

Even York thinks it became much more effective in the Jill Biden segment when it "got away from its Trump mania" and "reminded viewers that Joe Biden has taken some terrible blows in life and kept going." https://t.co/GstBottmZl

"The coronavirus pandemic has ushered in an age of sloppy, inaccurate journalism …" It's not about the pandemic, or about journalism. It's about beating Trump. I suppose that's obvious. https://t.co/7OOFes94ut

"We'll undo the vicious inequality of income and wealth that has plagued America for far too long." By starting out with a move (vastly increased labor supply through immigration) that'll make income inequality worse? https://t.co/GKopxZDHrF

US "policy" is to "maintain our presence in Syria"-says official Democratic Party video!-just as it was the "interagency consensus" to maintain bipartisan support for Ukraine-and never mind what the elected President campaigned on. Who does he think he is? https://t.co/o9qsUamOp9

How many voters, of either party, are longing for the days of Colin Powell's foreign policy? I would think the Biden Democrats would have a better chance of winning over swing voters and GOPs if they portrayed themselves as anti-interventionist. But maybe they're not …

No. Trump with Dem Senate would likely result in some kind of negotiation, with the distinct possibility of a Trump/Jared sellout (Trump would no longer have to worry about reelection; Senators would). https://t.co/HMuGyUJEUB
