counterbalance the young, Black progressive (really not that progressive) is the guy that democrats respond with in this political climate. Everything this party does is to NOT LOSE. Every vote is made to be safe and not piss of the rednecks with guns or cause instability in the market. Don't demand a better life for all Americans, protect the interests of the wealthy and if we're good they will make sure we're fed and housed, etc. etc.

My hope is that the Obama goodwill fades by the time the new Left comes of age.

I'm not anti-Biden, but I think the brand of 'healing' he's talking about is tremendously superficial.
