Given the current state of partisan polarization, it’s unlikely Biden can get majority job approval next year even with the most fortunate set of circumstances. But the good news for him is that he probably doesn’t have to. Job-approval ratings are crucial indicators in a normal presidential reelection cycle that is basically a referendum on the incumbent’s record.

    Am I bullshitting, or am I applying the only leverage I have over the party?

    I feel like you’ve had plenty of years to see how that “leverage” is going, and choosing now specifically to try to enforce it is really suspicious.

      “Now specifically”? This has been my political messaging strategy since I reached voting age. Feel free to continue lambasting folks for wanting the party to suck less, that seems really effective too. XD
