I'm amazed sometimes that people don't recognize effective strategy. Unity is the message from Biden, the President. This messaging and branding has been so effective that everyone is talking about it and repeating it.

Biden knows full well that Pelosi and Schumer will have to scrape and fight and sometimes fight "dirty" in Congress. But the President isn't in Congress. He can remain distant from those sausage-making efforts while appearing to remain above it all (all the while fully supporting the fighting Pelosi and Schumer have to do).

Very well stated.

I wish people wouldn't be so quick to assume that Chuck doesn't know exactly what he's doing. Personally, I am pretty sure that he does.

Can you find a less shitty way to say the same thing so this doesn't come back to bite DEMs in the ass?

Like UNITY requires BOTH sides to be accountable to the rule of law.
