I think that Democrats can get to scared of the stuff instead of just kind of calling BS on it and talk about how it actually affects people's lives, which is usually not at all. I mean, for me, this has always been, do you support public school teachers and public school systems? That's it. Make sure they pay him well and take care of the teachers. Trust them and respect them. Protect our kids. Don't aim when you need them. And I say don't cover up books. Stop covering up books. It's the worst message we can send to kids. Do you treat and see people, let people live their lives and treat them equally? Yeah.
We discuss Biden's State of the Union speech — and the state of the Democratic party — with three of the party's savviest strategists: Bernie Sanders’s 2020 campaign manager Faiz Shakir, former White House Communications Director (and host of The Circus) Jennifer Palmieri, and Tom Bonier, the CEO of TargetSmart.
On the agenda: how Marjorie Taylor Greene's State of the Union heckling made President Biden shine, how Democrats have rallied in response to Trump, whether the party can win the narrative and wedge-issue wars...and, of course, if Biden is running in 2024.
