AOC especially.

I do not like this development.

....he has to work with the progressive wing of the party and I think most party centrists agree with that ambition.

Obama's attempt at "bipartisanship."

At least Kerry is the co-chair with AOC. Maybe that will temper some of her more divisive rhetoric and tactics. She still has a lot to learn.

Did she ever open both her offices in her district? Is she serving her constituents any better these days?

....to be trying to work with fellow Democrats, a distinction with a big difference. Don't you think?

exclude all those horrible left wing Democrats?

She has done so in the past.

What horrible left wing Democrats are you talking about? I did not use those words. Do not try to put words in my mouth.

Kerry and Chuck Hagel testified before a House committee on climate change, that included AOC. A few Republicans aimed to get them to attack the Green New Deal and AOC. Kerry instead praised her energy and sincerity and spoke of how important that was to get more grass roots behind people working within the system on making real change.

It was clear when it was her turn that she appreciated his words and she tweeted that they spoke afterward.

In Kerry, Biden has an internationally respected statesman on this issue, who himself has roots in activism on the environment that reach back to 1970! For years, he has used the earth day example when speaking to young people as an example of activism resulting in action.

As to environmental justice, which some think started with the green new deal, it was a persistent theme of the book Teresa and John Kerry wrote in 2006 and even then, it was not a new issue.

Given Kerry's own activism, commitment and his willingness to really work with others, I suspect that this could be one of better working teams.

I did comment about Kerry before I saw your post.

This could be "keep your friends close and your enemies closer"... but they're not his enemies...Democrats have never walked in lockstep like the brain dead Trump sychophants...and don't underestimate John Kerry...the guy is master statesman and politician...he'll rein them in.... The message is: The Democrats are united so don't fuck with us!

They can't be your detractors if you make them advisors.

That being said, I’ve no doubt she will win her reelection

During the primaries. Biden consolidated the moderate wing of the party after he won in S.C. heading into Super Tuesday. After that, he still needed to consolidate the progressives which he is now doing.

Biden could have stopped with the moderates and ignored the progressives. Instead, he's giving the progressives a strong voice in his campaign.

Biden understands that he needs to maximize party enthusiasm which is the best way to maximize turn out.
