(205,320 posts)They gerrymander Democratic areas, provide fewer polling places, restrict hours which result in long voter lines to discourage Democrats from voting. They know that the only way they can "win," is to prevent Democratic votes.

And I agree with Klain. The economy is roaring back and in spite of the current surge, huge progress is being made in the fight against covid. Most of those getting sick now are unvaccinated. Everything that's happened in this first year, which is more than in just about any other first year of a presidency since FDR, has numbers attached to it. I'm not sure what the polling questions sound like, but over 70% of Americans have been vaccinated, 60% are glad we got out of Afghanistan and in the other direction, only 3.8% are currently unemployed. It's a supply and demand capitalist economy, so high demand for consumer goods, which is a good thing, combined with the restrictions on shipping and the lowering of inventories due to COVID, cause a rise in prices. Looking at all that, I just have a hard time believing that the poll numbers are a reflection of Biden's approval, especially with the propaganda media interfering in asking the poll questions.
We need the senate seats we can take, just two, and hold the rest and I believe we will be just fine come 2022.
