Big week for Dems, and the Biden agenda.
As I review in the thread below, what Dem voters want most from Washington is defeating COVID (by far and away most imp issue), creating an economy for all, tackling climate and improving health care.
We need to do all these things.

A lot of noise now but I don't believe there is a lot of data that voters knew about and voted for Biden because of his economic agenda.
It really was all about defeating COVID, and that needs to be our focus.
My analysis of the data here is below:

I think people are exaggerating the potential electoral impact of not passing BBB. It is only a small part of how folks will see Dems next year. What matters is what parts of it pass, whether COVID is defeated, and whether the economy is doing better.

Newsom's big win in CA has helped us find a compelling frame - defeat COVID, cheer on the progress of our agenda (incl climate, health care, etc), define them as too extreme to trust with power.

Working backward from next year, Dems will judged on whether we've defeated COVID, made the economy better, led on climate, improved health care and made border/migration better - and as we've learned this year if COVID isn't better nothing else matters.

So, to conclude - by the end of the year we'll have passed a lot of really good stuff and will have plenty to run on next year.
Folks to need back off threats, blackmail and work together. Guidance from those running in competitive races in '22 has to become more important now.

And for every claim that passing BBB is critical to Ds winning next year first explain why Biden's numbers went down after passing ARP, giving direct checks to hundreds of millions, seeing GDP growth at 6.5% and 1m jobs a month.
It is no guarantee - there is more going on here.
