"Let them hang themselves"

I think the latest set of polls are telling us that the "stand back and let them hang themselves" approach does not work in this country.

We look at the chaos among republicans and many of us incorrectly assume that the American people are watching and absorbing what is happening. They're not.

Another thing that struck me with the polls is that something like 53 or 54% of Americans are saying that Biden's policies have personally hurt them. Are some Americans incorrectly assuming that the abortion bans are a result of President Biden's policies? I've said before that we have to be very clear on who is responsible for the abortion bans.

What needs to happen now? Make sure everyone is clear on who is responsible for the abortion bans, for inflation, and for the fucked up tax policies.

Right now there is a right-wing speaker of the House who claims to have had a black son and who has acknowledged the racial disparities that exist. Make him prove it: Make a second push for the George Floyd police reform bill and voting rights.

Lastly, reverse the policies related to reporting zelle, PayPal, cash app, etc income. I'm not sure who is responsible for changing that rule but it is not being received well by many people.
