That’s a mischaracterization of what he said on this matter. Here are his actual words:

Even in that article, there was no mention of the specific reason the GOP was pushing so hard, and why it was still a big deal for Democrats to turn out to vote. Aslan was the one to point it out in the comments that time.

OK, can we stop with the line that it’s a Dem’s fault (either Biden for encouraging participating, or Bernie for not dropping out sooner) that Wisconsinites had to go out on Tuesday and vote in the Primary? It’s been ALL OVER these sites for the last few days, and it sucks.

Labor is as essential to society as the value it places on the people who do it. The political and economic system is designed to prop up banks and corporations. These are industries filled with white male faces who see only their own reflections in Washington. It doesn’t help that the country has a CEO fetish.

despite stipulations for some businesses to provide paid leave “for pandemic related reasons” from the Family First Coronavirus Response Act, roughly 80 percent of workers won’t be covered by these protections”

You forgot to add, “. . . and anyone arguing with this narrative will be denounced for politicizing the virus.”

Here’s how this will play out: Deaths from coronavirus end up being far less than the most pessimistic estimates of 1-2 million (estimates that depended on no action being taken whatsoever), largely because states, localities started taking proactive measures, such as shutting down schools and canceling events, while

Let’s take a gander at the polls after the middle states are hit...

I prefer “garment engineer”

Too busy with just in time supply chain - out of primarily China to save money - to increase those profits.

Sewing is a hobby, and luckily I had a great stash of cotton/elastic as well as free kits from a local fabric store, so I’ve done about 25 masks so far. My secret, shameful thought though is.... does anyone actually want these?

I’ve donated most of them to healthcare workers, and give away the rest to friends, and have

“Finally getting out” when less than half of the states have had their primaries. Electoral politics are so fucked 

Wisconsin voters would have had to stand in line anyway, there was a right-wing State Supreme Court justice on the ticket. The primary should have been delayed, but if the GOP is refusing, I hope every single dem in the state showed up to get rid of Daniel Kelly.

I’m not sure why he waited until after Wisconsin voters were forced to stand in line during a pandemic primary

Someday when this is all over I hope that someone asks why the health care industry can have mammoth profits and also be all “whoa, no masks, can you guys make us some? We were too busy giving out CEOs bonuses to prepare for a medical catastrophe”

As a fellow Warren supporter, it’s definitely frustrating, although it does appear Biden is listening a bit more. He seems to realize that many of the ideas Sanders/Warren have pushed are very popular with Democratic voters (and Americans in general) and that he can’t just throw them aside. It will be interesting to

It’s disgusting to hear Biden thank Sanders for challenging the Powers That Be when Biden himself represents those same Powers That Be in so many ways. I was always in Elizabeth Warren’s camp but am more saddened than ever that I have to vote for this person who has done practically nothing to further social progress

This.

I got angry at a friend earlier this week who was trying to shame a person for charging $20 for the masks that they were sewing with custom fabric that they had designed (originally for a different purpose). I tried to make the point that it is not the responsibility of those of us with a passing understanding

“But it’s also a grim reminder of how people on the front lines are lacking in the most basic supplies.”

“It should have never come to this,” Michele Hoaglund told the Times. “We’re doing what the federal government should be doing.”
