It would seem that we are entering interesting times as well as, hopefully, preparing for elections. The angry doctor, from Washington has said that covid will have cooled down by the end of April due to Vaccinations and the numbers of folks getting, and surviving Covid (the theory is that between vaccinations and covid survivors there will be a lot fewer available victims for Covid to have at). In addition to that the bi-partisan infrastructure bill is starting to warm up and distribute its rewards as well. Then, on top all of that the Dems AND Biden are starting to actually familiarize everybody with what they have done, the state of the economy, etc.
Basically there is a pile of Democratic good warming up which could give the Dems a real boost. The problem there is, of course, their ongoing problem of lack of messages which they can all subscribe to so that they speak with one voice as well. This would mean that the Democratic Progressives would have to temper their wishful thinking until after the election. Basically the Dems have to understand that there is a middle group of voters that are not members of any political party and, I think, that group holds more voters than either party and, probably, more voters that the total memberships of both parties!
I suspect, if things keep moving along, that Biden's numbers should start moving up as the Dems actually show a little intelligence and pay attention to business instead of each other. It would also be a good thing, I think, if the Dems actually started to go after the Republican anti-reality folks with facts and figures.
The main problem remains and it goes like; "The Democratic party has the capacity to screw it all up!" (if you google that you will get something like 16 million replies)
