Nothing about helping workers or dealing with 🇨🇳 required continuing to dismantle international trade institutions or keeping Trump’s awful, bad faith tariffs on our allies. Or using CFIUS against 🇯🇵 in…2025.
Again, Biden got awful advice from Sullivan & Tai & I’ll never understand why he followed it

The very first thing Biden should have done was abolish all the bad Trump tariffs on our allies (& re-entered TPP)
The (almost) very last thing he should have done is not do this very dumb CFIUS thing
He got awful economic & geopolitical advice. I’ll never understand it.

what i think most people don't understand is that defense spending is not actually high--in fact, it is *near record lows* as a percent of gdp. and we're not living in the end of history anymore--we're headed into a new era of instability and great power conflict.

Welcome to the club, but this is precisely the type of language that the left has always been using ("elites", "wage suppression") and precisely the reason i found all the Bernie and Warren (not to mention even more radical ones) stuff so off-putting

The alternative to democracy isn’t the policies I prefer, it’s destroying the incentive people with power have to care what ANY regular people think, whether they agree with me or not.

And yes, part of the solution is to start breaking some rules to stop those unpopular things from happening, rather than sitting on our hands and saying “but the norms say we have to let bad things happen to people.” Yeah, fuck that.
