Ep. 643 - Do NOT allow your frustration with Joe Biden to cause you to stop caring about LOCAL politics
Who the president is, absolutely matters, of course, but not so much that when the president sucks, you give up on politics altogether.

Hey Crew,
It’s Shaun. I am going to begin trying out a new feature that will let me email each brand new podcast episode to you directly. I am also going to be writing supporting articles here as well. If you don’t mind, if you are seeing this, and everything works for you, please leave a comment to let me know, ok? Can you hear the episode? Do you see a picture of Joe Biden?
I get it. Joe Biden is terrible. 82% of Americans don't want him to run again. And he shouldn't.
But it is FOOLISH to allow our frustration with him to cause us to stop caring about who our District Attorney is. Or who are Mayor is. Or city councilperson or school board leaders.
Don't fall for that trap. We all must be simultaneously frustrated with the President AND fully plugged into important races.

Everyone who is disappointed in the job Biden does needs to prioritize giving him the two indispensable tools, a stronger majority in the House and a majority in the Senate. 2022 is the only national election issue worth discussing in terms of improving Biden's results. Who cares whether he runs in 2024. His entire legacy and job performance depend on the congress we elect this year.
State assembly and state senate elections also need to be addressed over the long term, year in and year out, to counter republican gerrymandering and toxic changes to state election laws.
Turning over the Congress to the Republicans because of disappointment with Biden's performance is the absolute example of cutting off your nose to spite your face.
I managed to sign up as a subscriber and my payment was processed, but I received not link. I see a picture, don't know how (and don't particularly want) to hear podcast. I have not succeeded in setting up a password. Keep getting another chance to subscribe. Also, neither the url nor phone number for customer service works. I hope this post works.
The email had a picture of Biden and I hear the audio.
Edit: the email asked us to comment if everything is working. It is working 👍🏼
