I don’t think Biden actually believes this. More likely it’s strategic. In a field full of Dems saying, “screw the GOP...we’re doubling down on going left,” Biden is signaling he is The Moderate in the field. This rubs Liberal Twitter the wrong way, but appeals to ~60% of Dems

The man who spent 8 years watching the GOP relentlessly block anything Obama proposed, actually said this. This is tied for the "middle ground on Climate change" idea. He's a fish out of water.

This is literally hurting my brain and making me more wary of Trump having four more years. Not-Trump will not be good enough with the way Biden is talking, making not-voting more justified (for non-voters) if Biden is nom in the end. It's like nothing was learned. AT ALL.

2/2: I do hope progressive campaigns have a good strategy to turn this around.

Biden goes to bat for Republicans because he is a Republican. He is a conservative in the democratic party for the purpose of pulling the party further to the right.

Before Biden is allowed to debate any of the other candidates for President, I think he should be forced to debate Mitch McConnell.

It is delusional. Did he forget Merrick Garland?

Did he forget already how they stood in Obama’s way? They did everything they could to stop anything he tried to pass.

Oh, really? So all the Republicans that obstructed Obama for 8 years will magically disappear as well? If Joe knew the incantation, why didn't he pull it out when he was VP? Inquiring minds want to know.

PT: Biden doesn't believe it either.

Then why say it?

Also, we don’t KNOW if he believes it or not. Also, Biden wouldn’t do that. The GOP would only stop obstructing if they truly believe it is futile. Like, if Sanders won, literally EVERYTHING they assume about politics would shatter.

I live in Wisconsin where the Republicans stripped the governor of any power when a Dem won the election.

He’s too busy trying to play against the middle to realize how old he sounds. Doesn’t work that way anymore.
