I've been trying to come up with a tweet that explains why I think the progressive agenda is the right one for the nation but also explains why I think Joe Biden is right to reach out to those who will never embrace that agenda.

Both things are true for me.

(1)

We must create a nation that values each of its people in all the ways that progressives have laid out.

We don't need, and can't allow, the continuance of the icurrent 'make the rich even richer' philosophy that is killing us as a nation.

(2)

The radical right agenda calls for limiting and controlling people through hate and fear and a promise to return to a past that never was.

The radical left agenda calls for giving people the freedom and the security to actually decide on the nation's path to the future.

(3)

The radical right;s agenda helps no one except by keeping their voters quiet and voting for people who don't actually serve them or their families.

The radical left agenda helps everyone except the predators in our midst. It's the old 'chicken in every pot' agenda, made new.
(4)

What I saw at the #DemConvention was definitely not a selling out to the hate and fear of the right.

It was #JoeBiden saying, literally, that a move to left isn't scary or radical. It is what we need if we're to feed, house, educate and provide medical care for all.

(5).

I want an America that works for all of us, including the people who would exclude me.

The #DemConvention said, at least to me, that Joe Biden wants that, too.
