Trump is a mascot. You can get mad at him for doing stupid shit and you’ll recognize him easier than non-star players or even board members, but ultimately he’s one of the less consequential people in the stadium

Biden is aiming his entire pitch at people who would still like to believe that all politics are based on deliberation between people with different opinions on how to accomplish the same ultimate ends

P&S’s stupidity is thinking that gestures towards bipartisanship are good optics in the first place. The GOP wouldn’t benefit from an infrastructure bill for the same reason they haven’t come up with their own option for the Dems to reject: infrastructure is expensive and they spent last year gutting any ability to…

“Move fast and break things” sounds great until you realize these companies see other people as things

To stupid people, he sounds like a smart person saying the (stupid) things they’re already posting on Facebook

It’s “poverty is a choice” rhetoric warmed over and reserved to the people who would have been the middle class in previous generations, but whose current lives now more resemble those of the previous generations’ working poor
