Can we please let Biden/Harris take office before trying to light a match to it?

Looking at you Thom Hartmann, and several others, already blaming house losses (in red or recently red districts) on the candidates not being sufficiently "progressive" and demanding Biden "do this" and he'd better "do that."

Anyone even remotely affiliated with Putin TV is suspect. It really doesn’t matter. Thom is D list. He’s a nobody.

for someone to rain on our parade. Already we're hearing what Joe should do, as if he hasn't been planning what he's going to do all along, and what he could have done differently during the campaign. Joe's agenda is more progressive than previous Democratic candidates and he WON! So I guess he did do something right, actually a whole lot of some things right.

And this narrative that house seats were lost because Joe and Kamala were not progressive enough is ridiculous. There are too many moderates out there who are conditioned to be afraid of what they perceive as "socialist" policies. I love Thom Hartmann, but he is way off on this one.

"Despite the historic nature of Harris's election, there is a wariness about whether she will fulfill promises to the Black and brown communities that she claims to represent."

So it begins.
