DL Open Thread Sunday 1/24/21
Delawareans who tried to get a dose of Covid vaccine on Saturday spent up to seven hours waiting in line, and many gave up before getting a shot. Republicans, like vampires, aren’t good at self-reflection, so it shouldn’t surprise anyone that after about 24 hours of acting stunned, GOPers have decided not to rethink anything, […]

Biden’s Unity isn’t Coons’ “meet in the middle” Faux Unity
I was buoyed by Biden’s speech. He talked about the importance of “truth” and honor. I hope Coons was listening. Because while Coons figures that bipartisanship means compromising on basic principles – Biden’s view appears to be that truth is more important than meeting in the middle.
I’ve often said that Coon’s version of bipartisanship amounts to “We say 1+1=2, but they say 1+1=4, so the truth must lie in the middle and 1+1=3.
Coons is a slave to a logical fallacy called argument to moderation. Biden basically said “Fuck no. 1+1=2 and let’s get some unity around that simple truth.”
