    Effort, time, and political capital are finite. The opportunity cost of even getting a M4A bill to committee in the Senate is huge and even trying without filibuster reform and having a comfortable majority in both chambers odds downright stupid. You’re not actually this dumb, right?

      Republicans do these stupid things all the time and it works. The overton window is so far to the right, that you think a center-right politician like Biden is a glorious hero of the people. If it’s stupid and it works, then it’s not really stupid, now is it?
