Some people really don’t get it.
First of all, comparing Biden’s choices to any of Trump’s is a joke. Trump hardly had anyone confirmed during the last two years. Nunez lackeys are running the Pentagon. Betsy DeVos? Wilbur Ross?
Biden has made it clear that he feels it is important to have a lot of different perspectives talking to him. He sees himself as a great consensus builder. You don’t get that from a bunch of White men., no matter how “qualified.” The people he chose have shown they are capable of running large bureaucracies. They also share similar view of what he wants to bring to the country.
It’s always easy to criticize. There are no perfect candidates. I would have preferred people who are more innovative perhaps. But we have to reestablish a government. Reclaim it from a bunch of incompetents
.
A slap at Republicans? So what? They still won’t pass a stimulus bill, or feel the need to help anyone but their biggest donors. He doesn’t have a chance at pleasing them, even if he put Dick Cheney back in the Defense Department.
