The problem isn't a lack of buy-in from Republicans. It's that Democrats have done nothing to energize the voters they already have under their tent. Neutering BBB isn't going to help matters.
If you're a young, progressive or working class voter, there's just nothing that Biden and Co. are getting done that's going to appeal to you or materially improve your life, so why bother? These people aren't necessarily going to vote Republican; they're just going to give up on the system entirely.
