The Biggest problem with the Jim Dore / Ryan Knight crowd is they don’t know what they are talking about

They frame the best of anything as the most LEFT and a lot of governing is complex and have layers

Just so you know- I spend a lot of time with grassroots movements even know.

And the online grassroots movements don’t resemble the actual grassroots movements

There are not a lot of Green Activist pushing for the Green New Deal or Immigration Activist to Abolish Ice
People who regularly sue and represent cases against the Police are some of the most vocal against using “ Defund the Police”

12 heads of Labor Unions wrote a sign on letter urging Amazon to HQ in NY. They figured they had a better chance to influence them if they came to NY
Health consumers ( those who use the system a lot ) are the least likely to like a 100% government run system.

They can expertly point out the flaws w/ tricare Medicare and Medicaid
There is a serious and consequential disconnect with activist in real life and those ones on line

Foremost the ones in real life vote. This parachuting into a complex issue and getting an off brand take that gets the media attention- is problematic. And for many reason
The Squad does not represent the grassroots. They represent the online grassroots - and frankly that is just a mob.

I have gone to citizens meetings via Zoom during the pandemic. It is stark how different the conversations are. Same w/ Sierra Club mtg, Labor mtg etc
This astroturf set of legislative priorities get a shine in the media. Prioritizing “the woke” above things grassroots activist had been working on for years. If you are a probono attorney- what do you think you care about ending “ No Knock warrants” + cash bail

or arguin DFTP
So in a Biden- Harris administration they seem to understand the differences

It is not freezing the “ the Left “ and the Progressive voice. This online community is different than the grassroots community on a number of key issues. In some cases cannibalizing their issues.
The ppl who have years working on a policy area are being invited to speak to speak to the transition teams. Labor, Environmental, Community policing, health co-ops.. if you didn’t just fall out of twitter - you are at the table

🔷 Rev. Raphael Warnock has become the first Democrat to win a Georgia Senate race in 20 years

The politician spoke to voters via MSNBC this morning

https://t.co/T9oJN2fjmo


Warnock is a pastor at the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta where civil rights leader Martin Luther King once preached.

He will become Georgia's first Black senator


This blue victory gives the Democrats the chance to regain control of the Senate for at least the first two years of the Biden presidency


"With Biden proposing to reverse President Donald Trump's tax cut, increase the minimum wage, and strengthen oversight on various industries, some might argue that his agenda is not particularly market-friendly," says Vasu Menon, investment strategy director at OCBC Bank
