Biden's success in placing black women on the federal bench is laudable, as is his pledge to put a black woman on SCOTUS. However those moves don't address the larger issues the country faces in terms of direct threats to Democracy from the MAGA covering GOP - short thread

There is consistent theme in some Democratic circles that Biden doesn't get enough credit for what he's done and he's hamstrung by Sinema and Manchin. Biden can both do good things AND be vastly underperforming on critical issues. Today's GA polls tell that story 
The top issue for the core constituency of the Democratic Party is criminal justice reform. The president has failed symbolically and practically on that issue. Appointing black women to judgeships doesn't change that. Nor does it improve his flagging numbers with black voters
The second biggest concern for many activists and organizers on the ground is voting rights. This is where priorities and Democracy matter more than symbolism. On the same say we're discussing a black woman on SCOTUS the @TNGOP is gerrymandering democrats out of congress
Without aggressive or creative action by Biden on voting rights no number of judgeships will be able to counteract the political actions of state level GOPs. Manchin & Sinema aren't excuses to let the nation's Democracy burn
