    I think the ideological filter for actually getting into politics or becoming an advisor to politicians that are high up on the food chain is far stronger than the ideological filter for graduating from an elite school.

    So was Bernie Sanders lying when he said that if elected, Biden would have the most progressive set of policy changes proposed by a Democrat elected to office?

    Do you also realize that Joe Biden hasn't been sworn into office yet?

    Do you also realize that Joe Biden's administration also will likely not have the Senate which means they won't be able to get legislation passed on anything and will have to govern via Executive Order? How many Executive Orders has Biden signed so far??

    Also yes.... many people share many of the same values on opposite sides of the isle. W was a war criminal but he also did good things like helping the aids crisis in Africa. Going after Michelle Obama here is just so freaking weird.

    Had Bernie won the presidency I would have been defending him at least until he didn't something in office that I disagreed with. Biden isn't even elected yet, and its non stop b****ing already. I don't expect you to put a Biden flag in your yard or anything, but God Damn.... I expected a little more rational disagreement then to jump right into Tan Suit b****ing and Republican talking points.

    OH, it's infinitely stronger.

    You don't get into that high of orbit in the Democratic party if you hold multiple heterodox views.

    At this point, I don't care much for smugwhites flying private jets on taxpayer dime all while their washed up trophy wives posts selfies about it without a care in the world.

    Maybe they'll be as out of touch as Republican cronies. I'm the more wait n see type and would be willing to read other news sources to see if they pass the smell test.

    The bigger question is why you would rely on Tucker Carlson as a source for ANY credible information? You absolutely deserve to be criticized for posting stupid things from stupid sources that you should know aren't remotely credible or useful. He b****es for the sake of it. When you repeat it, you're going to be lumped in with the same level of stupidity. If you want to avoid that, do better.

    Good thing University of Delaware at Newark isn't an Ivy league school then. You should love Joe Biden.

    Crazy how two people could disagree on things and still share some values. The amusing thing about all of this is that you are the one that comes across as the elitist in all of your views, with no one and nothing being pure enough for you. You are the very thing you hate.

    You knew your source was Tucker Carlson in your initial post. Did you not know he's an ignorant buffoon before today???

    It could be an interesting topic if you had actually done your homework on the background of his appointments and actually argued on why you think they are "elites".

    Instead you started from a premise of just parroting something you saw on Tucker Carlson.

    How the hell is this topic beyond Gov?

    You actually having a clue would make me happy.

    Do you know what their backgrounds are overall?

    What is an elite? Going to an Ivy school?

    Are these people not the most qualified?

    What point are you actually trying to make here?
