Why is it a money quote? Well, please do recall when all of us were like "if folks like Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema are actively sabotaging your agenda, the President should go after them with furious hellfire" and we got told "we don't DO that, haven't you watched that one West Wing episode? That would make us like DRUMPF!"
So, protecting voting rights, packing the court, stopping fascists = not important enough to use the bully pulpit, but protecting Biden's nomination is.
Cool stuff
