    I could be wrong about this but I think it's to Biden's advantage to just focus on doing stuff like this and leave the Dr. Seuss/Mr. Potato debates to the GOP.https://twitter.com/BenjySarlin/status/1366893848715284488 …

    NEW: The Affordable Care Act is getting one of its biggest overhauls in a decade, and it's barely a blip on the political radar. Here's what's going on and why it's so quiet this time. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/obamacare-would-get-big-quiet-overhaul-covid-relief-bill-n1259343 …

        Of course that doesn't work if they're going to be "so quiet" about it.

        Democrats should just end the filibuster and then say Fred Flinstone is a racist and see what Fox News covers. The Republican party is only equipped to fight culture wars at this point.

        He's right to ignore the culture war and do stuff like this instead. But he *does* need to aggressively sell it and take credit, even if it's not in his nature to brag. Good policy isn't enough.https://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/16/opinion/sunday/dont-tell-anyone-but-the-stimulus-worked.html …

        I am highly critical of Biden because there is so much to accomplish in a short time. But improvements to the ACA, Vaccines, and not getting stuck on bipartisanship in the stimulus are great. He needs to do more for kids in cages, $15, and getting us out of afghanistanpic.twitter.com/vCz486wzeD

        This is like a fire that needs to burn out. We need to deprive it of oxygen. I would like to see a pause in announcements like this so the fire can die. Instead each one provides more fuel.

        Except the noise from the latter gets attention, funding, & motivation by R base to vote or put pressure to push agenda. Without attention toward the former, D base becomes deflated and begins to see engagement as pointless resulting in political losses.
