this is far better happy talk: “What we need is more 'economic intercourse'”
Giggling RWNJs seized on a Biden comment that only reveals how much context will be needed with an IMPOTUS who’s a pathological liar.
If @realDonaldTrump said this the left would mock and the MSM would write articles about economic intercourse for days.

Economic Intercourse: the branch must communicate knowledge concerned with the dealings of production & consumption of wealth by individuals or groups; communicating the knowledge of the condition of the region concerns groups who deal with the production & consumption of wealth?

Freed of briefing duty, wounded Trump airs full collection of grievances on Twitter, retweeting claim of "coup attempts" https://t.co/fgBTSh0FrT

President Trump’s first tweet Sunday came unusually late, popping up a few minutes after noon — hours behind schedule for a president who is often awake and tweeting as the sun rises.
“Happy Birthday to Melania, our great First Lady!” Trump tweeted at 12:06 p.m.
The celebratory tweet kicked off a long day of tweeting and retweeting that really ramped up at around 2 p.m. when Trump observed, in response to a recent New York Times article, that those who know him regard him as “the hardest working President in history.”
Over the next seven hours or so, Trump took aim at everything and anyone he could, unleashing a barrage of more than two dozen tweets and retweets that targeted media outlets, high-profile commentators and hosts, and Democrats.
He also returned once more to the Russia probe and impeachment, promoting a tweet that accused his political adversaries of “three failed coup attempts.” The tweet went on to suggest with no evidence that the president’s opponents could “attempt to steal the election” by making the novel coronavirus’s impact on human lives seem worse than it really is.

all of the coalition shifts we’re seeing boil down to this:

the democratic party is now the party for those who have cultural capital and the republican party is for those who don’t
for most of the 20th century, the main determinant of party coalitions was economic capital
