      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/ …

          Plan A has to be winning both Senate seats in Georgia. If that fails, Plan B is to throw a hail Mary to the center, permanently alienating the far left (hi, it me) of the party but maybe just maybe saving the country from permanent fracture. It might work?

          this depends on you definition of failure. if biden's goal is getting back to "normal" (i.e. screwing us less loudly) and bipartisanship for the sake of bipartisanship (without any actual progress), then he can absolutely be successful

          Biden doesn’t need all GOP senators, just a few reliable ones.

          To date, there is not a single person who supported Bernie's presidential campaign who has been nominated or appointed by Biden to any office, at any level. None. Not one. But please keep going on about the importance of "unity" in the "big tent" Democratic Party.

          If this unity is predicated on a handful of Republican senators breaking with their party on some votes, I think it is a possibility. If it is predicated on that handful of Republican senators moderating the rest of them, I think it is doomed.

          I mean, these allegedly cooperative Republicans need to demonstrate publicly that they are on board, and that demonstration has to hurt intransigent Republicans.

          What can he possibly accomplish without congress?? Reverse Trump's executive orders, negotiate treaties, and move troops around. He won't even get any new judges past Mitch. Talk about delusional.
