12. I think you nailed it. I agree with James Carville - instead of Build Back Better

do a Build Back Differently...It might not have everything we want but could still be huge.

Pass the Voting rights act, pass Climate Change (that will be tough with Manchin), expand Medicare, and so on. Dislike Manchin but we need him to stay a Democrat.

Do not give up - Any or all will be better than we have done since ACA.....Go Biden!!

For anyone that doesn't remember we have 50 votes max (48 Dems, 2 Indep) that makes it very, very difficult to pass anything.

Peace
