For the pandemic, yes. I actually think he has a point vis-a-vis corporate waste welfare though. Robert Reich was all about the party line when he was a Clinton cabinet member, then miraculously got religion once he wasn't in a position of power any longer. They all know what to say, but none will ever do anything. Biting the hand and all that. Not as if too big to jail Obama ever was hard on any corporate bosses. As far as I can tell preet bahrara was the only government official who ever even tried to hold anyone accountable any the courts basically told him to stop being such a big meanie.

So we should elect Joe, take care of covid, and then riot. Agree.

Something like that. Maybe just making sensible changes to tax policy could be a starting point??? I was behind Andrew Yang in the primary, but not because of his "freedom dividend" so much as his proposed changes to the entire federal tax structure.

Yang would've been great. Not sure he could've beaten Trump, 'cuz he's "just a kid" to the overwhelming majority of 'Boomers. I loved the "MATH" hat though.

Do you think there would be a single Trump commercial that wasn't racial if Yang was his opponent?

He'd have a field day with "kung flu" et al.

At least Yang could claim he was, "Kung Flu Fighting" and had a great song at rallies, to illuminate his actual attempt to fight the spread of the Coronavirus...
