    1. So: Biden campaigned on restoring national unity and bipartisan co-operation & it wasn't just cynical rhetoric aimed at swing voters. He really believes it and is going to give it his best shot.https://twitter.com/jeneps/status/1338668856764739584 …

    Jeet Heer added,

    Jennifer EpsteinVerified account @jeneps
    Biden says that 7 Senate Republicans, “mostly senior,” have called him tonight. He spoke to “one of the most senior members” who expressed a willingness to work on China and infrastructure. It’s going to take 6-8 months but GOP will work w him, “you’re going to be surprised.”

        2. I'm dubious that a national unity gambit is going to work because America is so polarized now (nearly 8 in 10 Republicans think Biden stole the election). On the other side, a quick Covid vaccination program + quick recovery + Biden's solid reputation for comity could help

        3. But I'm assuming the unity pitch will fail. Which means, it's incumbent on outside activists groups (who actually want change) to keep insisting on Plan B: which is that there is a lot Biden can do without congress.https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/biden-republicans-bipartisanship-mcconnell/ …

        Debt ceiling grand bargain in 6-8 months. Probably already secretly discussing how much they can cut from Social Security and Medicare.

        Saying you'll work with Republicans is going to convince voters they really need to vote for Democrats? It's the opposite. Biden wants Republicans to keep the Senate. He's always been a proud DINO. Being able to do exactly what Republicans want him to has been his lifelong dream.

        2: Republicans are confirming that they will only do their jobs when it is politically expedient.

        Of course, he believes it. Biden is conservative and those are his people. It wasn't just Strom Thurmond, it's all of them. He campaigns for them. He loves Republicans.

        Correct. Biden is the conservative and the GOP is officially a white supremacist party; why cater to them!? Notice that white liberals say "unity" and always mean "with the fascists" NEVER "with the socialists/anarchists/communists." I hate it here.
