Attention depheater'd and Mr. Timpy and everyone else, too.... There is hope for the progressive wing to have influence in developing the new Biden administration and Cabinet.
Sen. Ted Kaufman is co-chair of the transition team, and he fought Obama on how to treat big banking after the recession. He teamed up with Elizabeth Warren to fight the good fight. Ted will help point the admin and agenda in the direction you want.

Why Progressives Love Ted Kaufman, Joe Biden’s Alter Ego
As Biden’s replacement in the Senate, Kaufman was tough on Wall Street. Now he leads the Democratic nominee’s transition team.
Ted Kaufman, the co-chair of former Vice President Joe Biden’s transition team, fits neatly into the Democratic presidential nominee’s small inner circle.
Like most of its members, he’s old for a political operative ― 81. As a Philadelphia native, Wharton School of Business graduate and former engineer for DuPont, he shares Biden’s geographic grounding in Pennsylvania and Delaware. And like most of Biden’s closest allies, he’s worked with the candidate for decades.
Kaufman is often seen as Biden’s alter-ego, and was even selected to take over the Senate seat Biden vacated shortly after winning the vice presidency in 2008. The two men live within walking distance of each other, and allies inside and outside the campaign say the pair are ideologically simpatico.
“I think it’s fair to say that Ted is Biden’s closest political adviser and friend outside of his family,” said Alex Mackler, who has worked for both men and was Kaufman’s deputy chief of staff in the Senate. “He has an overriding trust in Ted’s judgment.”
There is one crucial difference between Kaufman and the rest of Biden’s closest allies, however. While progressives look askance at the corporate ties of many key Biden advisers, the left-wing of the Democratic Party’s ideological spectrum has little but ebullient praise for Kaufman.
“He thinks Wall Street has too much influence in our government, he thinks that corporate America is too powerful and he thinks workers don’t have a seat at the table,” Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio said in an interview, summarizing a consensus view. “He’s a strong progressive.”

"Biden’s entire Cabinet will be at the whims of whether McConnell even puts his nominees up for a vote, and his appointments are sure to be more centrist than if Schumer were in charge of the Senate.
There’s no hope of liberal icons like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren winning Cabinet confirmation"

Once in the Santa Cruz Mts
Once in the Santa Cruz Mts while mushrooming in a 2nd growth redwood forest I came upon a 100+ year old redwood with a cavity in its trunk almost big enough for me to comfortably stand in.
Since it was raining I decided to take cover a smoke a bowl. After lighting up I decided to light the lighter and look above me inside the redwood. Staring back at me was a pod of 30 big brown bats looking down at me a mere feet above my head.
Thoughts of the movie The Lost Boys filled my head(the movie was filmed in and around Santa Cruz)
I quickly removed my self from the redwood and stumbled away from the tree and into a small grove filled with over 80 chanterelles!! Knowing a gourmet chef I took them to him and he made pizza with some of them.

If this man Ted really thought Wall st had too much influence then he wouldn't have backed Joe Biden. Once again, you fail to read between the lines and connect the dots. It's redundant speaking to close minded people but I still try sometimes. Bidens whole campaign is built upon hypotheticals lol. That what politicians do. They say what you want to hear to get your vote with no evidence that what they say and promise will ever happen.
