It's an argument for moving forward with Biden's agenda. She notes that large chunks of it were derailed by a few Democrats (as well as the entire Republican party). She does not offer advice about strategies that will breach the blockade next term, but she makes a strong case that it was actual progressive/Democratic accomplishments (not messaging) that influenced voters and won the day.

2. I agree!

Sensible voters ignored the fear monger Press and whiners, took an honest lok at how much Biden, Democrats and 15 to 20 sensible Republicans accomplished in a short 2 2 years. The polls lied about Biden popullaruty, how people felt, where the country is now going.

The only states that went red were gerrymandered to the hilt. Fla. and Ohio. That can and did backfire.

4. Couldn't agree more.

6. Thanks for the unlocked link

It's not humorous that sources I think are worthless cost nothing, but sources I acknowledge as trusted cost money.

How much of a family's budget should be allocated for paying for data access? Does this mean that only the affluent should have access to actual trusted news organs?

By that model, most Americans would be woefully uninformed.

Wait. That's exactly what is happening...
