      I hope that either Biden is right, and he’s the Green Lantern uniquely able to overcome the massive structural forces pushing Republicans to obstruct, or that he can change course quickly. The worst case is chasing the dream long after everyone else knows it’s not happening.https://twitter.com/AlexThomp/status/1338997731763871744 …

      Is there any possibility Biden is saying this stuff because voters like it, but he knows it's not a viable strategy and his actions will be different?

          Seems unlikely given the length of time & amount of focus he's put on it. But God I hope so.

          Yes, I think so. But that relies on him being a lot more calculating than he seems. I've heard he is that from a few people in Delaware but... the rest of the evidence suggests not

          Definitely. And I can see why that made sense during the campaign. But now it's starting to sound like he really believes it. Even that is maybe not so bad as long as he's willing to change course. The risk is that it becomes definitional for him and he starts cutting bad deals.

          It is still the campaign. He's got two huge seats in the Senate he is still trying to help capture. It is more important than ever to show he is not going to ignore the other side now.

          Yeah this is the problem. If you start defining everything down in order to get a deal for the pure purpose of validating his identity as a dealmaker, you will get some very bad deals. You can always get a "deal" if you're willing to give away the store.

          Biden is not naive.
