5. Biden has 60% approval and democrats control the trifecta

Bipartisanship is a way of forging a majority coalition. It's often necessary, and with our thin margins may be needed in the present circumstances.

But it's more of a means to an end, and if you have a majority coalition already, there's not great need to include the minority just for the sake of including them. Only for certain issues that really demand more than a slim majority is that important.


Never mind that republicans never give a crap about bipartisanship when they're in a position to force their idiotic views on the rest of us. When was the last time republicans backed off their lunacy for the sake of including democrats?
