If we lose either house it's game over for the rest of Biden's term. While so many Dem senators are drawing red lines the GQP is running out the clock. The Dems have to have something to run on other than "we're not Republicans." There need to be concrete advancements, even if everyone doesn't get everything they want. The prize to be won is the 2022 election, and the means to get there is producing tangible results the common man can see as money in their pockets. "It's the economy, stupid!" was Clinton's winning mantra; it might be wise to dust it off and use it again.
