    Based on what, exactly? Biden is a very experienced politician. And the Republicans have taken their mask off and shown there’s absolutely no point in trying to compromise with them. They only negotiate in bad faith and will reneg on every deal if/when they can.

    It took the Dems far too long to accept that you have to fight fire with fire, but they got there.

    Obama had a Dem party still valuing bipartisanship and healthy differences of opinions within the party.

    Biden has a Dem party that falls in line because they have accepted that they have zero margin for civil discourse, because the Republicans will run away with the country if there’s even the slightest bit of slack.

    And so Biden and his administration aren’t pulling their punches. There is no bipartisanship to be had. Only wins where you can take them.
