(CNN)CNN Opinion is curating tweets from contributors on President Joe Biden's 2022 State of the Union address.
The irony is that this is a populist speech in terms of middle and working class economics - but it shows how much of populism is just culture war fear-mongering.

Biden is smartly reclaiming patriotism for the Democratic agenda. Enough with GOP extremists' appropriation of the flag and pride of country. #SOTU

SOTU speech outline:
Start with tough talk on Ukraine.
Then same old Dem talking points.
Close with tough talk on Ukraine.

Man, watching the Democratic president say "Let's make it in America," and Democrats cheer "USA" -- while REPUBLICANS sit in silence -- is truly bizarro world for anyone who lived through the Bush era. #SOTU2022

Nice nod to Intel/technology and its importance to the future growth of America. ...Now if we can just improve US education & workplace retraining programs so all those jobs can be filled by Americans. #SOTU
— RoxanneJones (@iamroxannejones) March 2, 2022
Biden's middle class economic focus gets lost in the culture war controversies, but it is a core belief and his strongest political card...and it's key to strengthening and recentering America.
— John Avlon (@JohnAvlon) March 2, 2022
So how many Rs who just sat on their hands over the success of the American Rescue Plan bragged about the benefits of it for their own constituents back home? #SOTU

I definitely prefer seeing the House chamber with both Democrats and Republicans cheering in the name of democracy, instead of insurrectionists there trying to overthrow American democracy. #SOTU
— Josh Douglas (@JoshuaADouglas) March 2, 2022
Biden is focused and energized, occupying the role of president as leader of the free world. And it's good to see that he's going after Russian oligarchs' ill-gotten assets and opening oil reserves, uniting democracies against autocracies.
— John Avlon (@JohnAvlon) March 2, 2022
Biden tonight confirms that the West will not engage militarily to save Ukraine. So what happens if it falls? Do we just accept it? #SOTU2022
— Scott Jennings (@ScottJenningsKY) March 2, 2022
God it is so good in this moment to look at 3 people who are not inept, not cruel, not liars.
I may not agree with each one on each issue but these are people I would actually want making decisions in a moment like this.

Starting with foreign policy, national security very wise. @POTUS says Putin was met with "a wall of strength." Nice turn of phrase - and the kind of wall that unites Americans.
— Paul Begala (@PaulBegala) March 2, 2022
As @POTUS reminds us, Volodymyr Zelensky has become one of the world's most powerful symbols of what it means to be defiant in the face of authoritarian aggression.
— Julian Zelizer (@julianzelizer) March 2, 2022
Pres. Biden speaking directly to the Russian oligarchs "we're coming for your ill gotten gains."
This is not insignificant.
— Tara Setmayer 🌻 (@TaraSetmayer) March 2, 2022
It's never been done before at this level. #SOTU
Wow: Opposition to Putin actually caused Democratic and Republican members of Congress to stand up together. #SOTU2022
— (((DeanObeidallah))) (@DeanObeidallah) March 2, 2022
The absence of a mask on the @POTUS is central to one of his message. We've entered a new and better phase in the battle w/COVID.#SOTU
— David Axelrod (@davidaxelrod) March 2, 2022
Reminder— you are seeing two of the most powerful people in the world — both women, just a heartbeat away from the Presidency. Historic #SOTU
— Nayyera (@nayyeroar) March 2, 2022
Tonight's State of the Union provides opportunity for @JoeBiden to revive his presidency. He must not only show competence and courage; he must make people proud to be Americans again. Pls join us for @CNN special coverage.
— David Gergen (@David_Gergen) March 2, 2022
No matter what #Biden presents to the American people tonight at his first #SOTU , I'm confident he won't embarrass the nation as his predecessor did just about every time he stepped to the mic. Thank goodness that's over!
— RoxanneJones (@iamroxannejones) March 2, 2022
Of all the opinion numbers @POTUS must deal with, most troubling is the 67% of Americans who think the country is on the "wrong track." That usually spells disaster for an incumbent administration. #SOTU2022
— Errol Louis (@errollouis) March 2, 2022
Biden must walk a very fine line tonight. He must rally the world behind Ukraine and cheer on their remarkable tenacity, but he can't overpromise on Ukraine or overstate Putin's failures. #SOTU2022
— S.E. Cupp (@secupp) March 2, 2022
A sentence that should appear in every #SOTU: "climate change is an existential threat to the way of life of everyone hearing this speech and the world is not doing enough to address it."
— Elliot Williams (@elliotcwilliams) March 2, 2022
What I'm looking for tonight: (1) new measures re Ukraine, (2) how does Biden talk about accomplishments (say, job growth) with the continuing challenges (inflation, the border), & (3) does he get why a majority feels we're on the wrong track/what will he do about it?
— Doug Heye (@DougHeye) March 2, 2022
This #SOTU takes place during an international crisis highlighting Biden's belief that the challenge of our time is democracy vs autocracy. It's true. But many Americans will listen for solutions to inflation, gas prices, crime - which he needs to win back Independent voters.
— John Avlon (@JohnAvlon) March 2, 2022
I am disappointed more of tonight won't belong to Judge Kentanji Brown Jackson, but I am expecting Biden to use this giant opportunity to introduce her to the country. This is a moment for history and for qualifications, and I'm sure we'll hear about both.
— jess mcintosh (@jess_mc) March 2, 2022
Tonight's SOTU will return to the theme of containment. How will @POTUS contain the problematic areas of the economy, namely inflation, and how will he contain Russian territorial aggression?
— Julian Zelizer (@julianzelizer) March 2, 2022
After watching Trump's State of the Union addresses in fear, confusion and disgust, the world now tunes in to see if a new President is a new America, one who stands for democracy again. #SOTU2022
— S.E. Cupp (@secupp) March 2, 2022
Biden's in a tough place on the pandemic.
Foolish to declare victory--but failing to acknowledge optimism risks missing an opportunity to turn the page politically.
Needs to lean on policy to stave off the next variant. Global vax, support for HCWs, longterm care.
— Dr. Abdul El-Sayed (@AbdulElSayed) March 2, 2022
Countdown to #SOTU...Interested to see how Biden uses speech as a reset and threads the needle on the economy--he needs to convince Americans it's moving in right direction without leaving them feeling he doesn't 'feel their pain' about inflation.
— Kirsten Powers (@KirstenPowers) March 1, 2022
In an era of war, pandemic & economic hardship— Biden tonight will take the stage & ask us to come together to protect the things we believe in. Regardless of party, it's time to stand together. #Unity #SOTU
— Van Jones (@VanJones68) March 2, 2022
SOTU watch: Presidential rhetoric rarely persuades. But there are expectations. Biden should borrow a phrase from Jack Kennedy - idealism without illusion. Lay out what you've done/doing/will do to make things better at home but tether it to fact you know Americans are hurting.
— Aaron David Miller (@aarondmiller2) March 1, 2022
.@POTUS needs to acknowledge American's anxieties yet tout his accomplishments; offer hope for the future but not paint too rosy a picture; tout bi-partisanship but give red meat to base for midterms; be tough on Putin but alleviate fears of war. Tall order tonight #SOTU
— Patti Solis Doyle (@PattiSolisDoyle) March 1, 2022
Sometimes you gotta zig when they think you are going to zag. Biden could own this moment if he walked out and shut down all Russia oil/gas imports to US and unleashed full American domestic fossil fuel production. Does he have it inside him to throw it down the field? #sotu
— Scott Jennings (@ScottJenningsKY) March 1, 2022
Many Pundits say #Biden can't address voting rights issues at #SOTU because they pale in comparison to Ukraine. Stop. #VotingRights are the bedrock of our Union. I'm sick of US talking tough about democracy abroad while failing to fight just as fiercely for Black/Brown Americans.
— RoxanneJones (@iamroxannejones) March 1, 2022
In defense of democracy from the threat of authoritarian dictators President Biden has a chance tonight to send the message that we have to defend democracy here at home too.
— Joe Lockhart (@joelockhart) March 1, 2022
At tonight's #SOTU, I would love for Biden to emphasize / mention:
— Jill Filipovic (@JillFilipovic) March 1, 2022
-Refugee policy, and ideally efforts to expand refugee resettlement in the US
-Repro rights, which are under direct attack
-How the US will support a free Ukraine
-The necessity of universal childcare
Joe Biden has quietly had an impressive foreign policy accomplishment of building and holding together the coalitions on sanctions. He needs to find a way to take credit for that in tonight's #SOTU.
