Miriam,
I enjoy reading Glenn Greenwald, but before I pay for a video on
Youtube, I'd like to know what it would cost me. But I found nothing.
So along with still being uninformed, I'm grumpy, too.

and the Biden/Harris Transition
The exploitation of identity, the powerlessness of the Sanders left, and
the
dangers of returning to promised pre-Trump "normalcy": all driving
Democratic decision-making.
Glenn Greenwald
Dec 3
In a subscriber-only video discussion, I examine three vital themes evident
already from the Biden/Harris transition, their key appointees, and the
political and media reaction to them. The first is the cynical exploitation
of identity, diversity and biography to distract from their ideology and
substance. The second is the utter powerlessness of the Sanders left in
asserting any leverage or extracting any concessions - all the result of
election-year choices made by that faction. And the third is the dangers of
a "return to normalcy" that the Democratic Party has been promising and
which many of its supporters, particularly in the media, appear to crave.
These themes will undoubtedly continue to drive not only the rest of the
transition but the administration itself, and are thus well worth
pondering.
