Don’t be angry at me over that headline. Joe has written it, and is living it everyday that he doesn’t pivot to moving forward without the Republicans, (and traitor Democrats like Coons, Manchin & Sinema).
The central policy argument of (Biden’s) campaign, repeated throughout the primaries and general election, was that he, alone among all other Democratic contenders, would be able to win Republican support for his agenda on the basis of his character and his skill at leveraging personal relationships built over nearly half a century in Washington. By implication, conservative members of his own party weren’t to be worried about. But by now, just over a month into his term, it should be clear even to those who bought into this extraordinary lie that conservative Democrats are the ones running the show.
