There is no bully pulpit in today's media landscape. Heard this plea during the Obama years so many times. Doesn't matter what you say in the state of the union or national address media is so polarized the other side will just spin it or call it outright lies. It was a bully pulpit when a national address and broadcast media was the main instrument. Now you got plenty of cable news nonsense, social media and websites to ensure people are only hearing their curated views.
You can wax poetic all you want but if you don't have the votes you aren't doing anything. Republican/Conservative types see the hypocrisy of this debt ceiling gamesmanship and don't care. They will still blame Biden if it happens because it's not a logical response. It's an emotional response against the people you hate.
Unfortunately, some ultra libs do the same thing. They're grousing about the deal that gave Rs very little and put off this nonsense until after 2024! Luckily, they're a very small minority, but they do get on the news. I want Walter Cronkite!
