Everything is urgent. But his harshest critics need to be realistic and remember that there are limited dollars to spend, and only so many days in a year. I do not think it serves any good purpose for those people to shit all over Biden because of that simple reality. I've said it before... he's not a magical wizard who can just wave a wand and make everything better... instantly! There should be DANCING IN THE STREETS at how much progress is being made, rather than continual grumbling.

I'm sure there are people who are SO UPSET that they're back to their "all or nothing" philosophy and making clear their intentions to "punish Democrats" for not delivering quickly enough. Disgruntled groups like that lack the power to accomplish anything positive or meaningful (on their own) but... on their own they do have the power to kneecap Democrats (thus "punishing" us) and returning the GOP into power (thus achieving the "nothing" portion of their philosophy).

I hope that doesn't happen... but as we've seen with Sarandon, Moore, West and others such as Nina Turner (also a Jill Stein supporter) because of their contempt for Democrats and impatience (and egos and vanity and desire for revenge or pay-back) they'll certainly waste no time in sabotaging future elections.

All I'm trying to say is that type of negativity and impatience never helps. People should instead be eager to BUILD on the progress that we've made. If things need to be accelerated, then don't RUIN what we've done... work instead to improve the schedule for the coming years.
