"SNIP.....

“Two in 3 Americans approve of President Biden’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic, according to a poll by ABC News-Ipsos, with widespread support for his efforts to pass a relief bill.”

“Biden’s 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 Trump’s 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... .

4. Well, We all remember how playing Nice worked for Obama

Moscow Mitch, Faux Lying Fest, Rep BONER, et al,

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.

5. Yes there is another side to Biden that we don't see.

The side that hates a bully. And goes out behind the barn to kick ass.

11. The side that hates a bully. Yes!!!!!

[Irish_Dem]

17. His mother threatened to smack a nun for teasing a stuttering Joe when he was little.

His mother taught him not to run from bullies.

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.

12. Right?

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.

13. Agree. I believed (and still do) that

Biden was the best choice for cleaning up the mess and setting us on a better path. But he has exceeded my hopes and expectations in such a short time. Imagine what else he can accomplish if we have his back and win more seats in 2022!

14. i think about 2022 all the time past couple of weeks

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.

19. I think about 2022 often, too, especially considering

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.

23. It almost feels like it was yesterday

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.

[Irish_Dem]

20. I knew he could beat Trump. I knew he could do the job quite well.

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.

[wnylib]

21. Much bolder and more progressive

than I expected. Just what we need to turn things around.

[Irish_Dem]

22. He knows all the levers of government and he is pressing them hard.

Yes much bolder, faster, progressive.
He is not messing around.
And he is saying thanks to everyone who got him elected.

6. Having a real President AND Vice President makes all difference. N/T

8. Why not?

[onecaliberal]

10. People are really hurting. I don't think it can be overstated. We just need to move with

Urgency to get things done for people.

[ooky]

15. It's a breath of fresh air to see work being done on solving the nation's crisis' instead of

Trump playing golf everyday.

[Blue_true]

16. We are finally in a position where the virus will have to beat us if it wins.

Our President won’t be busy tripping us up on a daily basis.

18. But Larry Summers said . . .

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!
