I agree with putting an end to these massive bills though. These bills are terrible marketing as well and I'm not sure they'd win Biden and the Democrats a whole lot of support if they did pass. They mostly just seem crazy expensive and people don't even have a good idea of what's in them or how it will personally help them.

This is an interesting question. Do you think the progressive left, Sanders, The Squad wing of the party could ever get anything going at the ground level? Or are they so far left they they could only hurt already friendly progressive, but not progressive enough Senators?
This obviously would not work in WV. Anyone a nanometer left of Manchin would lose to a Republican. It's a miracle that somehow even Manchin wins.
