That was one of the more interesting SOTU addresses I’ve seen. Personally, I think he said most of the things that needed to be said, and he said them reasonably well. I’m sure he’s going to get some flack for attacking Trump directly (though not by name), but I was frankly glad to see it. Doing otherwise makes it seem like it’s just your typical election/political disagreements, but we’re past that now.

    That’s just the first 15 minutes or so…I almost shut it off.

    After “orange man bad” he went policy by policy, said what he’s done and outlined a liberal (not neoliberal) platform for like 30 minutes straight. It wasn’t just scare tactics about cultural stuff for once

    For me, the big was the complacency of the Democratic party. They just kept moving further right and ignoring what the people want, but I’m hoping this marks a turning point

    It’s not nearly enough, but at least he’s started building social programs, talking about raising the corporate tax rates, and enforcing anti-trust laws.

    The speech was huge, this article doesn’t at all do it justice.

      That is actually good to hear. I haven’t seen the speech, just read this and a couple other articles. I will have to give it a watch tomorrow
