Biden gave a very good speech today at Gettysburg:
His calls for unity are a balm to an electorate feeling exhausted by the miscreant in the White House, the nihilism of the Republican Party, the fighting, the pandemic …. everything.
But I have to remind everyone that while it is something we all would like to hear, it is highly unlikely to be deliverable. The Republicans understand one thing very well: all you have to do to make a Democratic president fail to fulfill this promise is to refuse to cooperate and then point the fighter saying, “I gotcher unity for you right heah! What a loser!”
Republicans don’t operate in good faith. So Democrats need to win both houses of congress and the presidency, get rid of the filibuster, expand the court, make DC a state (and Puerto Rico too if they want it) and save the country.
