Great speech. Democrats should much more talk that way and microtarget voters with this kind of effective messaging. Republicans and their policies are anti-worker, but they are very successful in weaponizing social issues against Democrats by painting them as out-of-touch elitists that are more concerned about transgender restrooms than supporting blue collar workers (nothing against transgenders here, but unfortunately the media and Republicans have chosen to talk about that much more than the economic agenda of Joe Biden and others). They also scapegoat immigrants to gain cheap points among workers and reduce complex issues like globalization to simple platitudes.
Democrats absolutely must get smart in reforming or ending the filibuster to pass legislation like this bill. It can't be allowed that such rules from a past era stand in the way and nothing gets done.
