I agree that collaboration & compromise are important, some of the biggest bills Biden has signed into law had at least some bipartisan support, bills like the Infrastructure Investment & Jobs Act, the CHIPS & Science Act, the PACT Act, the Safer Communities Act.
How does a trans person who is being denied gender affirming care unite with the people passing anti-trans legislation across the country? How does a woman who’s forced to carry the child of their rapist or suffering from an ectopic pregnancy unite with the people who support strict abortion bans? How do people who care about the environment and take climate change seriously unite with the people that want to roll back environmental regulations and repeal clean energy investments? How does a parent who lost their child in a school shooting unite with the people who refuse to pass gun safety legislation? How does someone who immigrated from another country unite with the people who treat them like they don’t belong and label them as “rapists, thieves & drug traffickers”? How does a black person unite with the people who refuse to acknowledge that they are disproportionately targeted by the police? How does a person who only has access to healthcare due to the Affordable Care Act unite with the people who tried and still want to repeal it? How do people who had loved ones die from Covid unite with the people who didn’t take the pandemic seriously? |
And how do people who are willing to accept when they lose an election unite with people who refuse? Is that honestly even possible without just acquiescing to whatever the other side wants?
