3. The poll numbers would not be what they are if Dems passed BBB.

Both bills, infrastructure, and the safety net bill.

We all know why that has become difficult, and we must be honest with the public as to who is responsible for the delays and how we will remedy them.

That said, we also need to make abundantly clear that despite Dems difficulty within our ranks, it is important to show the American people that NOT ONE Republican will support BBB. Life will continue as it has been, dire and without hope for working people..per their own agenda.

Honestly, I could tell you all the things I disagree with about the Biden administration, but I don't find that helps most of the time.

When people see light at the end of the tunnel, they are more patient, imho.

Good thread, EarlG...thanks.
