I'm sorry, Elaine. The Republicans have announced they will not participate in bi-partisanship....at all. Even after the meeting with President Biden yesterday, McCarthy said that Biden was pushing a radical socialist agenda and started a fundraising tweet. And Joe Manchin continues to say bi-partisanship is possible. You can close your eyes all you want, but the reality is that there is no bi-partisanship to have.
I’m not sure where I said that the republicans were going to comply. Nevertheless making the effort is what democracy is about and it’s a very noble thing. I applaud him for making the effort.
I agree with Elaine. I am a school counselor in an elementary school and I have seen group think in action. I have also seen courageous and socially wise leaders persuade some from the group to recognize their power as an independent thinker. We might not get Manchin to vote for HR 1, but we might get Romney and the lady from Alaska and then, Voila! No more voter suppression. I am proud of Joe for giving any of them a chance to speak up. Plus, by trying to compromise, any failure is the fault of the Republicans after that in the eyes of the world.
