Still help, I guess, the question is just how long it'll last.

I don’t think anyone but us weirdos are paying attention to the minutia.

No change until something actually happens.

Hurt.

 I think of the casual and soft Democrats who I have to convince to vote especially around the midterms and don't see how Biden has done anything to help me sway them. If anything I'm hearing a lot of bitching about inflation, gas prices, and shortages on goods.(Not Biden's fault but he gets the blame)

 I have an aunt who is anti-abortion but is a soft Democrat voter, usually. I told her about Medicare expansion being discussed in the budget bill and also qualified that it wasn't likely to pass. She is 62 years old and wants to retire but faces 3 years of very uncertain healthcare costs even with the ACA. For weeks she's been calling me about updates on Medicare expansion, asked me why more people are not supporting it, why nobody was talking about it. It was something tangible that would have helped her immeasurably. It engaged her politically in a way she does not normally respond to outside of the GOP anti-abortion nonsense which resonates with her even though she supports Democratic party policies in most other cases. This is a small example but add that to the Georgia voters and other Democratic Party voters who delivered the Senate because they thought a Federal minimum wage increase was coming, that help was coming on student loan cancelation, that we would roll back the disastrous Trump tax cuts, and use that to invest in the social safety net.

 Democrats are underachieving.

Once a bill actually passes he’ll get at least a small bump. I doubt his approval actually rises just because they’ve “announced a framework” though.

Maybe minor, but at least all of the networks cutting into the speech showing that 'we've got a breakthrough' is some better news for him than what's been happening lately.

The problem is if the 'we've got a framework!!!' talk quickly again turns into 'no vote today! dems in disarray!!!'

At the barest of bare minimums they change the media narrative from "Biden's agenda is stalled! What are he and his party doing about the supply chain issues that are 100% his fault!" to...anything else. That will likely benefit Biden at least a little. But if passing bills is what helps Biden approvals now, he is out of luck for that to remain the case because this is likely the last thing to ever come out of this trifecta, and therefore his entire tenure as President once the GOP takes control of Congress in 2022.

So if Democrats want to squeeze the most positivity out of this possible, they need to do what I will lay out here...even as none of them will read it:

1. Make the obvious case of the beneficial, tangible effects this will have to American families and how it is paid for by corporations finally paying a fair share in taxes and not costing the average American a nickel, or increasing the debt and deficit.

2. Try to find a way to make the case that more could have been done if more Democratic Senators were in the chamber. This will be a bit tricky to do though because you don't want to come across as focusing on what isn't actually in the bill.

3. Compare and contrast this with what the GOP would do with a trifecta: tax cuts for the wealthy and nothing else, as usual. This should be done more closer to the 2022 midterms so the discussion doesn't become all about the opposition.

4. Also for election season, Biden particularly needs to remind Americans that Trump did much less than he did in the same amount of time: only getting one major bill passed (that being the 2017 tax cuts) with an even bigger trifecta whereas Biden accomplished at least three at this point: the COVID relief package (focus on the child tax credit specifically), the human infrastructure bill, and finally the bipartisan infrastructure bill (emphasize that he was able to be a better deal-maker and actually able to get Republicans on board). Also with the brick-and-mortar infrastructure bill, Biden was able to deliver on it within a year versus Trump who had dozens of infrastructure weeks.

The Filibuster is affecting Biden Approval ratings obviously, you have to show accomplishments as Prez he passed 1 bull and that was UBI benefits and he got rid of the UBI benefits but Unemployment extension was too generous of

If he would pass 1 more 1400 he would get another bump, but he Governs like an R in that but a Socialist in raising taxes
