To "work with" them now means US bending over. They dig in, change rules if necessary, reneg on deals. They want to win. They are not interested in governing. Winning is all that it's about.
It's not our parents' Republican Party, any more.
As for Biden crafting his message to fit, it's the other way around. This is how Biden is and always has been. He didn't carefully craft his message, his stances. The people crafted their responses to fit with Biden. But it shows a symbiotic sameness and the broad appeal that Biden has, when all the other candidates appeal to smaller groups of voters. There isn't another one with broad appeal like Biden, sad to say.
I waited for the Pied Piper to appear. The answer to Trump. The captain to right the ship. He didn't come. I likely won't see such a Democrat in my lifetime, now, since I'm 65. 8 years of Biden, 8 years of a Repub....maybe in 16 years the Pied Piper will appear? I'll be 81...fairly close to death, if you go by the avg lifespan for someone born in early '50s.
