Biden and Beto Boosted GOP Candidates in 2018. That's Disqualifying.

6. this was the money quote for me:

Our country paid a big price for the Democrats’ failure to do this the last time around. Had 51 Senate Democrats been willing to kill the legislative filibuster in 2009, they could have passed cap-and-trade, a version of the ACA that included a public option, a stimulus package proportional to the severity of the Great Recession, more foreclosure relief, card check for unions, and citizenship for all 11 million undocumented immigrants on a party-line vote. In so doing, they quite likely would have prevented Donald Trump from ever becoming president; add a few million more immigrants to the electorate — and a couple percentage points to the rate of private-sector unionization — and you end up with a country that is both more democratic and more Democratic.

my bold. For too long one side has been waging a war, and the other has been reaching across the aisle. It was really nice to see Nancy Pelosi bring it; everyone needs to continue that and it can't just be about rump.
