"SNIP.....
Two in 3 Americans approve of President Bidens handling of the coronavirus pandemic, according to a poll by ABC News-Ipsos, with widespread support for his efforts to pass a relief bill.
Bidens 67% approval on handling the coronavirus contrasts sharply with how Americans felt President Donald Trump handled the pandemic. In October, 61% said they disapproved of Trumps response to the coronavirus.

that would mean rich people might have to be part of the country and can't not pay taxes and can't isolate themselves in their private schools, private hospitals and private neighbourhoods etc... .

I'm thinking Biden speaks softly and honestly, but carries a big ass stick to getting this done, because he remembers how it all went then too.

She is the one with the family who is from County Mayo Ireland like my grandparents.
The men are handsome, charming, extroverted.
But they will fight you to the finish if you are on the side of wrong.
And love every minute of it.
The women are beautiful and total spitfires.

(7,295 posts)Maybe it isn't the first time I'm saying this out loud... But Biden has surpassed every expectation and what I had merely hoped for. in just a little over two weeks for pete's sake, I really can't believe he's just been office for this short period of time and done so much.
So MUCH GOOD.

(7,295 posts)on pins and needles about it. I have no idea what the ground game looks like. I see potential candidates to run opposition to a few of the nut jobs, but not lot. Hopefully there are more candidates on our side flying under the radar.

(21,974 posts)what happened in 2010. The Senate lead is razor thin now. Can't afford any losses.
I am hoping that the Biden policies now will attract enough voters in 2022 to increase at least a couple Senate and House seats, especially if the public sees the R's trying to block Dem policies and programs that people want.

(7,295 posts)I remember it well. The Tea Party bullshit. People wanted to have "Coffee Parties" to strategize to win back Congress.
I don't want to go back that.

(49,175 posts)Character and experience count a great deal.
But my jaw is on the ground with how much he has done in such a short time.
And I love how progressive he is.

(21,974 posts)than I expected. Just what we need to turn things around.
Irish_Dem
(49,175 posts)Yes much bolder, faster, progressive.
He is not messing around.
And he is saying thanks to everyone who got him elected.

(82,849 posts)Ah, who cares what Larry Summers has to say. He was the guy who advised Obama to go small in 2009 in response to the financial big boyz damn near ruining the global economy. Going small resulted in needless additional suffering and financial calamity for millions. Summers later conceded that he'd been wrong. This time around, Summers says the relief package needs to be small because something something bond traders or some other privileged class might lose some of their privilege and then we'll all be sorry!
