Biden’s agenda is being blocked in the Senate by 2 Dems resisting change. LBJ dealt with something similar. @AJentleson says “History shows that when a president gets involved and applies relentless pressure over the course of weeks and months … it can make a big difference.”

But then what would Dems raise money on? We fixed Healthcare, Childcare, Income Inequality, Childhood Hunger, Childhood Ppverty, Dent on Climate change, fossil fuel subsidies, minimum wage, expanded Medicare to ears and eyes, lowered the age for Medicare Ohh damn that sounds good
Replying to @MehdiHasanShow
@AJentleson I read your book and learned so very much. I recommend it highly. It should be required history curriculum. Thank you.

So I take it neither Manchin or Sinema won't need anything from Biden, Schumer, and Pelosi while they have the majority? That would seem very odd.
LBJ wasn't having to fight against bottomless Koch/Exxon $$$.
Again, apropos of nothing, Adam is hot-- rockin' that quarantine hair

LBJ is a pleasant fantasy thought of an aggressive populist Dem president but image what Trump would do. Those two would be hiding in panic rooms. There's much Biden could do on his own (current end to UI for millions, etc.) but hasn't and apparently won't.
