Most average voters would think this stuff is "boring."

And they don't make the connection between the bill and the actual construction. Some people just seem to think that construction like this just "happens."

Democrats need to hammer it home. And calling it the "Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill" doesn't help, either. Dems need to shame Republicans who voted against it and then go out to ribbon-cuttings or other events celebrating it.
