I don't quite understand what you think the end game is. The Republican Party isn't going away. So just writing them off is not an option - if anything, it's only going to amplify their hostility to democracy. What, exactly, is the strategy you think Dems should pursue?

Anti-democratic parties are much more likely to be tamed by political defeats than by conciliation.

A strong economy will do more to win over those voters than gridlocked bipartisan negotiations.

You have to distinguish between the rhetoric of bipartisanship and “we’re all Americans here” (which is good) with the substance. Biden didn’t conciliate at all on the stimulus plan.

My piece talks about infrastructure. And bipartisan framework is limiting range on voting rights as well.
