"Joe was a nice combo of competence, compassion, caring and a shit-ton of cash."
With a big, bold vision of the future.
Yes he does Larry.
But to see that vision realized he understands he has to win elections in '22 and '24 and not scare the voters with either visions he may have nor visions others may have.
I think Joe, even with old eyes, can still focus on what's in front of him.
we'll see.
Yeah.
He is fundamentally transforming the nation.
How do you win midterms in 2022?
You put forth legislation the nation wants and no republican voted for.
Larry we are in the process now of finding out what the nation wants, I'd suggest and have suggested to you several times, the nation is not as monolithic nor as liberal as you seem to believe it is. IMO the US, from sea to shining sea and all the red states in the middle, is more moderate than the world you see.
IMO the nation wanted to get better from covid, stop hiding under the bed, get kids back in school, get back to work, maybe go out to eat once in awhile, watch the kids or grand kids play sports, have a BBQ or plan next Thanksgiving, In essence get back to normal ASAP. And IMO thats where we are getting to now, and will be IMO for awhile.
I don't know if Joe has transformed anything yet. But he delivered compassion, caring and cash to a nation that needs help and from a government that gives a shit about the people.
Joe IMO has won the first battle in the battle of hearts and minds and wallets,
He's got credibility and IMO people (Rs as well as Ds) will listen to him, even if R-pols won't.
It will be interesting to see the infrastructure plan as it gets hashed out, what survives and what social plans gets shelved for future years or longer than that.
YMMV
Monolithic and liberal?
Yeah.
That’s exactly what I think.
Go back to sleep and snuggle up with my June Pipe Dream
Larry you've been screaming "GO BIG" for the past year, as if GO BIG was a one-size fits all.
I asked you several times to define your terms during our discussion and met with limited sucess, while at the same time providing you with my reccomendations for a GO SMART agenda.
But to be fair FAC provided a long list of GO BIGS programs (about 15-20) that you never disagreed with, so I used them as rough proxy for a LEFT-GO BIG social agenda.
And FAC recently moved off his original list to reordered his priorities to more close resemble what may be achievable in the current political world.
In any case, I was specific as to what I thought critical for Bidens first two years in office.
He needed to push programs that America wanted and needed and that were popular to give him momentum into '22.
I'm not going to repeat myself but the current ARP focuses on pretty much what I suggested last June.
Containing covid, boosting the economy, helping the poor and working and middle classes, fixing O-care, aide to cities-healthcare-jobs
and it also included a lot of bacon, because everyone, even Mitch likes bacon.
He'll steal a 6 slices but bitch that its too fatty, then he'll steal 6 more slices.
In any case, don't blame me for your lack of specficity as to GO BIG and if it leads some to conclude you favor a left-leaning one-size fits all solution
YOU JUST HOLLERED GO BIG AS IF THAT MEANT SOMETHING.
And it didn't.
I understand slogans can be far more persuasive than specifics and Larry you're BIG on slogans and were very short on specifics
And Larry they're your pipe dreams from June, and I told you that back then.
btw, smoking's not good for your health so lay off the pipe
as to utley he's free to post what he likes, one day he's playful, the other 6 he's nasty, but if you get too close he may nip, he's a biter
And whether you chose to LMAO or ACHTUNG that's ts up to you.
I prefer LMAO
