Our politics isn't about addressing people's material needs. It's about which team you're on. If Biden's on the good team, it doesn't matter that he's distorting his long record.

We're just going to have to keep narrowing and narrowing and narrowing our politics until we're sufficiently alienated from the idea that politics is a way to improve our lives. Because as long as we think that politics can help us, we may want hold people who were in positions of power during our nation's previous crushing decisions accountable.

Can't have that. There are consultants whose jobs are on the line here.
