I'm relieved to see this because the biggest mistake Biden could make at this point (particularly after last week's events) is not embedding Ducklo. Still not sold on him, but this is a huge load off my mind.

    pray for a backlash against McConnell obstructionism (Harry Reid tells us it’s coming)

    This better be a goddamn bit

    I don't understand half of these words, but I imagine it means aggressively transferring capital away from the proletariat while suppressing them and rolling over for the fascists when no-one is looking (or everyone is looking, doesn't seem to matter).

    Not sure what they mean by "avoid OFA model"

    In 2008 Obama built a massive army of enthusiastic volunteers, which he immediately shelved and told to go home and shut up. Then, when Obama was negotiating Obamacare, Rs conjured up right wing rent-a-mobs to protest against "socialized healthcare" and Obama had no ability to respond.

    Biden doesn't have the army or enthusiasm. I guess item 1 is already a success? Where success is defined as failure?

    OFA is a model/political action group that is the only thing libs have that could actually be considered organizing. O'Malley Dillon is Biden's campaign manager and soon to be deputy chief of staff. Her model apparently is the big-data approach, which we have to thank for the cross pollinating of Democratic donor lists and mass email solicitations in lieu of real and tangible action.

    And that's when I stopped researching, because it's obvious the democrats are doubling down on stupid, stupid, STUPID strategies. Continuing to look behind the curtain can only be considered self-harm at a certain point.
