I'm a liberal New York Jew on Twitter so even I do not trust my judgment when it comes to mainstream issues. But when I look at the facts of the Biden Admin record at home and overseas, Biden's agenda & the good it would do for most Americans & the prospects for the year ahead...
...and then I look at the obstructionist GOP agenda, its overt racism, misogyny and corruption, their leadership's support for America's enemies overseas, their support for a violent coup against the U.S. government and their service to only the richest and most powerful...
...I'd have to conclude that Biden would have a hugely high approval rating and the Dem prospects for November would be excellent. In other words, if facts mattered, then the political picture would be very different from as it is being reported.
Why isn't it? Well, facts clearly don't matter to some people. And some people shop for the facts at places that don't actually serve facts. And some people place more value on reporting problems than focusing on a far more positive big picture.
But I have to tell you, I actually believe the American people are smarter than that. And despite being a liberal New York Jew on Twitter, I was born in Illinois, grew up in New Jersey, am married to a Latina-Bulgarian from Michigan, and actually get out a bit.
And I think if the administration communicates what it has done & what is planning on as well as the president did tonight & it continues to perform as it has for the past 13 or so months & Democrats get the word out, campaign aggressively, call out the threat posed by the GOP...
...and if the rest of the year goes as well as it likely will for most Americans and on top of that, the worst of the GOP actually start to be held accountable for their crimes, well, then, I'm not sure any of the polls and most of the pundits matter.
In a moment of multiple crises at home and abroad, the United States has a @POTUS @VP and a team that are doing not only an excellent job but precisely the job we need done. And so I reckon their prospects are pretty good because I think most Americans have common sense.
I know, it's crazy, crazy to think that reality and an appreciation for facts might make a comeback. But color me crazy, because I believe it.
