Trump calling out Biden on corruption is laughable but it plays right into what he did in 2016. Paint the opponent as corrupt, depress support in key states and barely win them.

The thing is it’s not working

At some point he's going to torpedo his own campaign.

Also, I don't think billionaires should exist is an interesting take for a man who said, I'm rich because I did something people wanted.

I hate that they're framing this like "Bernie is embracing Elizabeth Warren's big idea" when Bernie literally proposed a wealth tax in his white paper for funding M4A in 2016. I point that out, not because I care about who said it first since I just want good legislation to be passed (Piketty probably said it first anyway); but it highlights that the same talking heads that constantly push "Warren has plans and Bernie only has ideas" never actually bothered looking at Bernie's plans which are laid out pretty clearly. I really just wanna keep pushing back against the Bernie doesn't have a plan narrative.

Over the past several decades America has experienced an explosion of wealth concentration. Today the wealthiest 0.1 percent just 160,000 households own nearly the same amount of wealth as the bottom 90 percent. Meanwhile, a report from the Institute on Policy Studies concludes that America’s 20 richest individuals now own more wealth than the entire bottom half of the American population. This severe inequality threatens to warp our democracy by concentrating too much power in the hands of a tiny elite. It also holds back our economy, funneling resources to a few families rather than creating the broad base of middle class consumers that can drive economic growth. This option would establish an annual 1 percent federal wealth tax on the net worth of the wealthiest 0.1 percent of U.S. households. The tax would apply to net worth exceeding $21 million for a household. That means a household with $21.5 million would pay 1 percent of $500,000, or $5,000.

Messaging matters.

Bernie didn't make a wealth tax a central component of his campaign, whereas Liz has. She's got her supporters dressing up as two cents for christ's sake. It's not a policy buried in one of her plans or white papers, it's one of the main policies she's pushing, just like Bernie is doing with M4A. @Pressure is right, messaging matters. But it's fantastic news for progressives that Liz is pulling Bernie to the left on this. Bernie's updated position is a win for us.

Absolutely. But it's always fun to point out how much Bernie 2016 influenced Warren's 2020 campaign in light of the Never Berners that love Warren and the Warren's a corporate shiller's that loved Bernie 2016. If you like Warren 2020, the closest analog is Bernie 2016.

This is mainly to point out the Hillary fanboys that hate Bernie over 2016, low key LOVE his 2016 platform and that the Berners who are going extra hard on Warren, would have absolutely adored her platform in 2016. The in-fighting of their supporters should be a sociologist case study.
