You're preaching to the choir. The real audiences are the persuadables, of which there are many. The problem: they are all over the map. Start with the youth, who just aren't interested in Grandpa, though his loan forgiveness may have made a dent there. Then there are the suburbanites who are more worried about crabgrass than national politics. Getting them will be a challenge, because too many choose social media as their proferred news source, and the Trumnpists have no compunctions about filling those platforms with half truths, outright lies and worse: appeals to blood and soil couched in mommy-talk.
If Biden is reelected, he'll default to caretaker status relatively early in his second term -- better than having an arsonist in charge but too little to create real change. Once again, the monied will escape and this will settle finally into 1980ish neoliberal lite in the 1T. It could be worse. It should be better.
