Things have gotten bitter, but you can’t have bipartisan politics when the majority of Republicans don’t engage with it in good faith. As recent years have shown, it’s a concept Democrats insist on sticking to for optics that prevents them from delivering on major platform issues, which the GOP only pays lip service to in years where they don’t have the votes to ram through their policies, regardless of what the opposition thinks of them. As long as the GOP continues with this attitude that lets them pack the Supreme Court and other levels of the judiciary, while passing broadly unpopular laws and blocking policies that have majority support, insisting on bipartisanship is a losing play for Democrats. Leaving aside whether or not they would prefer to perpetually campaign on issues like reproductive right versus definitively solving the matter once and for all, it just feeds into the narrative that the Democrats are a bunch of incompetents who can’t deliver on their promises, and even flub the ones they do make progress on by compromising their stances in the name of bipartisanship, sometimes before the Republicans even raise an initial objection.

Coupled with their abject failure at communicating their actual successes to the public at large, they’re kind of self-sabotaging here. All they’re accomplishing is further demoralizing their voters to maintain an image of respecting procedural norms in the face of an opposition who explicitly seeks to undermine and subvert those same norms. Who exactly is this supposed to excite?

Yeah, more collaboration with a party of fascists, anarcho-capitalists and people bizarrely combining the two is sure to improve life for regular people!

It’s no exaggeration that the Dem leadership is so ridiculously obsessed with “bipartisanship” that they’d literally have collaborated with the German nazi party if they replaced the Republicans.

Biden might SAY “it’s just not how it was” but he and the rest of the Dem leadership sure as hell ACT like it’s 1992.

Isn’t Cox mormon

So what’s up with the champagne

I have to endure living in Utah with this filthy excremental cretin named Cox. He’s such a two-faced conservative bastard. He’s become much less human over time, and more the puppet of the evil right wing morons in our legislature. He recently declared diversity and equity to be “the worst forms of human evil,” and he himself signed into law a bill that prevents trans people from using bathrooms in public buildings.

How despicable a person he is, what a sick piece of filth he is - the last so called “human” who should be telling people they need to feel “less bitterness and get along better.” He is as disingenuous as he is uneducated, and he fights against Biden every chance he gets. He is a complete piece of dogshit.

Lets see…how many times have we heard this rhetoric? This is typical election year bs.

So Utah doesn’t want a dictator, they’d like things to stay a democracy.

The fuck

I’m actually a fan of all this division because I think it’s necessary and productive to progressing our nation forward. I think for decades, since our founding really, conservative puritanism has controlled the narrative. Now truth is finally separating itself from ignorance. What was once muddied waters is conservatism losing its grip on reality and desperately lashing out like a rat backed into a corner.

The only thing the Republican party has left is being the Anti-Dem. Doesn’t matter how moral or truthful Democratic policy is, they must oppose it for they have nothing left.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

“It’s just not like it was.” The Democratic president commented while delivering a toast to the nation’s governors and their spouses at a black-tie White House dinner in their honor.

Cox, a Republican and chairman of the National Governors Association, preceded Biden to the lectern beneath an imposing portrait of Abraham Lincoln above the fireplace in the State Dining Room.

The Utah governor said the association “harkens back to another time, another era, when we did work together across partisan lines, when there was no political danger in appearing with someone from the other side of the aisle and we have to keep this, we have to maintain this, we cannot lose this,” he said.

Vice President Kamala Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff, were among Cabinet secretaries and White House officials who sat among the governors.

Guests dined on house-made burrata cheese, an entree choice of beef braciole or cod almandine and lemon meringue tart with limoncello ice cream for dessert.

The governors, in Washington for their annual winter meeting, heard from Biden and Harris on Friday during a separate session at the White House.

I don’t feel good about Biden giving weapons to a genocidal regime

Biden said he remembered when lawmakers would argue by day and break bread together at night. He is currently embroiled in stalemates with the Republican-controlled House over immigration policy, government funding and aid for Ukraine and Israel.

Biden doesn’t care about what they’re doing to American citizens, he just misses the good ole days where he would fight against school desegregation and then laugh over drinks with Strom Thurmmond afterwards.

“Less bitterness please”, says man currently genociding people. “Just cause you don’t like my opinions doesnt mean you get to be all nasty about the genocide I’m doing”. “This disrespect is only making you all look foolish in the marketplace of ideas”.
