1/ It's not the Republican effort to suppress the vote but rather the Democratic failure to inspire the vote that poses the greatest danger to Dems in November. The most powerful antidote to voter suppression laws would be for @POTUS to give people something to vote for.

2/ The lackluster performance of this administration is not only due to Manchin & Sinema. Biden could declare a medical emergency and expand Medicare to everyone tonight; he could cancel all college loan debt tonight; he could declassify cannabis from a Schedule 1 drug tonight.

I'm not sure he is free to do those things. He had to make deals to get the oval office. Those deals likely preclude such actions.

But he won’t because it does not serve his agenda.

You seem blissfully ignorant about how our political process works.

If he can do all that, he should definitely wait closer to midterms. Had he signed off first day in office, everyone would have forgotten by now. He must contend with the sugar and fats addled American attn span.

I still don’t think that would inspire people to vote. There is something desperately wrong with our psyche here in the US

Those are bold ideas, which I love/agree with. Imagine how 'we the people' would respond to a candidate committed to making those kinds of humanitarian changes in office day 1. I am deeply hopeful that you'll run again and that 'we the people' are finally ready to embrace you.

The endless lies. If you're not helping, you're hurting.
