Maybe I was being hypersensitive (it wouldn’t be the first time!) but given the general chatter and polling that shows people think Trump would be better on the economy, it hit a nerve.
Here's how I read it: An implication that jobs are not important to Dems which is ridiculous. I'll grant that jobs are not what's important to the Far Left, but they are a minority of electeds and registered voters. Most Dems care about jobs, so if that's his implication, it's false, at the very least misleading. Isn't the Bulwark not supposed to be doing that in their writing?
Of course, they're a noisy minority which is why right-wing media focuses on THE Left that is purportedly ruining the country. How does he not know the difference between center-Left liberals like me and many other Bulwark subscribers and the Progressive Left?

I understand. It's something I try to guard against myself.
We've also gotten used to Bill's daily swipe at Biden and the Dems.
"Used to", maybe, but still unappreciative of. Somehow, I don't remember Charlie using his Morning Shots for that kind of personal Cheap Shot....
Yes indeed.
