(157,232 posts)What choir? DU "isn't the microphone".
There is a post upthread that lists the suite of legislation and E.O.s that have been enacted so far - https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1014&pid=2910268
So you don't consider that "meaningful" or are not "wins"?
"Free speech" for Democrats is NOT FREE because we don't own the "microphone", so the list of what has been done will need to be in the form of paid advertising in every major media market, whether broadcast, print, or digital. And what happens when you have a list like that, people keel over because it's "too much". We saw that happen with Obama.
Biden, Harris, every Department/Agency head, and many in Congress have gone around the country and the world (and/or have spoken in their Districts/states) describing what has been done and it's not covered. The only mention might be as a footnote to a traffic report alerting commuters to "a motorcade" about to come through.
Did you know that last week, OSHA started hearings on creating a "permanent" standard to protect workers in healthcare environments - as a replacement for the recently expired ETS (Emergency Temporary Standard) that expired? I watched the 3 sessions last week and a 4th is due to happen tomorrow. Do you think Shmuck Toad is going to mention that?
The first two were heartbreaking. Link to the series here (they won't embed correctly for playback here) - https://www.osha.gov/coronavirus/healthcare/rulemaking

DETROIT Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm will pay a visit to Michigan this week, where she served as governor for years, to support American manufacturing and promote clean energy initiatives and legislation.
The former Michigan governor, who served from 2003-2010, is scheduled to attend events in East Lansing and Detroit on Monday, May 2. The visit is meant to underscore the administrations push toward clean energy, driving down energy costs and prioritizing the historically underserved communities that have been at the center of the fight against climate change, officials said.
Secretary Granholm will first visit East Lansing for a ribbon cutting event at 10 a.m. at Michigan State University, officials said. There, the university will unveil its new Facility for Rare Isotope Beams -- a user facility for the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science where scientists study the properties of rare isotopes (that is, short-lived nuclei not normally found on Earth), nuclear astrophysics, fundamental interactions, and applications for society.
The facility is home to the most powerful heavy-ion accelerator in the world. Granholm will be joined by other Michigan lawmakers, including Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Sen. Debbie Stabenow and Rep. Elissa Slotkin, in East Lansing,

Do you think Wolf Blitzer or David Muir are going to mention this?
