Don't get me wrong: I'm not saying that #BIF + #BBB (assuming it gets passed) will be enough for Dems to win in 2022 (even if they get the word out etc.); but dismissing them as minor accomplishments is just horrible framing from a journalist who I usually respect.
Oh, yeah...not to mention the #AmRescuePlan, which is kind of a #BigFcknDeal.
NOTE: @sahilkapur is actually a pretty good journalist, and I usually find his reporting to be pretty unbiased. I don't think he intended his wording to be dismissive of the significance of #ARP, #BIF or #BBB...but it clearly is being *perceived* that way by a LOT of people.
I've posted my share of tweets which have been perceived COMPLETELY differently from what I was trying to say. When that happens it's generally a good idea to take another look at the original and accept that, yeah, that sounds pretty bad if you look at it from a different angle.
