Pam, I agree with you: Biden is betting on the enormous economic and social benefits that his legislative agenda--if it does get passed--would bring in order to shift more people to vote Dem. The problem is that the state legislatures dominated by the Grand Old Pfascists are determined to prevent people from voting at all and people rarely pay attention tot he voting record of their local representatives, let alone their federal ones. Biden is hoping that some kind of actual intelligence emerges from the mob. His optimism is adorable, but I feel it is misplaced.
Yes, all politics are local (as Tip O'Neill once said) and this is the reason for Republican dominance of State Legislatures, whose voter repression activities make Democratic optimism misplaced. While local Democrats squabble over local issues, local Republicans stick to the "big lie" and many little ones as well to unify their base.
C'mon. At least the weather in Floriduh is better than that in Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Tennessee, Wyoming, the Dakotas or Texas. Things could be worse.
