Squad member to deliver response to Biden SOTU

[dpibel]

136. TBH, neither of us knows

You know you can't prove the contents of an upcoming speech by linking me to last year's speech.

For what it's worth, I see this as a Politico hit piece against Rashida Tlaib specifically and The Squad generally.

And the best the writer of that can do is cobble together a "Dems in Disarray" narrative. Really. The Politico piece doesn't support the inference, let alone the certainty, that this is going to be a big takedown of Joe Biden.

All I know about it is what's in the Politico article. You appear to know for certain much more. I don't know how you know that.

I'm quite willing to wait and see what Tlaib says before I freak out.

If she attacks Joe Biden, I promise you I'll be sad. If she says bad things about, for instance, Joe Manchin, I won't be sad at all. And I won't think of it as an attack on Biden's agenda.

In any case, I think the original intent has been accomplished here: a big fight over something that, ultimately, amounts to little or nothing.

As others in this thread have noted, it's not as if this speech is going to be on all the networks. It's going to be streamed, and the number of people who see it will be minuscule. It's conceivable that there will be some coverage of it in some corner of the Internet, and that coverage will get posted here and much discussed, despite the fact that the article will get maybe a thousand page views.

I agree with you a lot of the time. Sometimes not. I suspect we vote about exactly the same way. The differences are marginal. But, gosh, we do get excited about them, don't we?
