16. We Democrats need to work like hell to add a net of two more senators in 2022.

Adding two more will make Manchin and Sinema irrelevant. Otherwise, the whole Biden agenda will go down the tubes and Republicans will take over again in 2024. We as a democracy really may not survive another Republican administration so soon.

We do have some opportunities, though we actually need at least three new senators because Georgia has now set up their legislature to challenge and throw out the reelection of Senator Warnock. Plus, Kemp is up for reelection, and if Stacey Abrams runs again, Republicans will pull out every nasty trick and way of cheating to prevent a win for her. Democrats need to demand a monitored election in Georgia by outsiders in 2022. Republicans cannot be trusted to allow a fair election.
