I Worked for Joe Biden. I Love Joe Biden. He Must Rethink His Post-Presidency.
I understand his desire to defend his legacy. But he needs to do it differently.

How do you nail a post-presidency if you're Joe Biden? Solid ideas from @steveschale.bsky.social, who worked for him and loves him: Lean in to decency, empathy and the stories of everyday folks, and leave the legacy litigating to others. www.thebulwark.com/p/joe-biden-...

I don't have the answers, but we need to have the conversation about how we channel activist energy away from impossible races and into real organizing.

I don’t believe in moral victories or participation trophies. There is no glory in the battle fought, but lost. But mostly, I wish we could find away to harness the enthusiasm to support necessary organizing, and not just races we were never going to win. manofflorida.substack.com/p/we-have-to...

There's a lot of complaining about "Dem consultants," often by the most progressive voices. It's really annoying when they don't go after shit like this, especially in context of @steveschale.bsky.social s point over at the bad place.
