(7,670 posts)The Republicans seem to have decided on internecine conflict over Trump, his legacy, and trying to pull the party together based on White Supremacy and Anti-LGBT agendas.
The Democrats seem to be doing the same, but based on things like parliamentary rules and basically hindering passing their own agenda for purposes that mystify me. Its hard to set an agenda if you can't pass it, even with a narrow majority. It gives off the appearance of incompetency.
Biden has clear agendas that are muddied by his own party. Trump was muddied to begin with, and the Republican party tried to steer him into their agendas of lower taxes and killing the welfare state. He half succeeded, then they gave up on having an agenda that's clearly articulated.
Biden should not just be the anti-Trump, he's going to have to try to go in a different direction, and help forge a clear path to a brighter future, somehow.
