Rothkopf: Let's get real. Joe Biden, Democrats and America need results much more than unity.

"While a unity-oriented Biden-led party can promote bipartisanship, Democrats cannot let it be a cudgel with which opponents beat them to death. The stakes are too high." via @djrothkopf in USA Today.

Let's get real. Joe Biden, Democrats and America need results much more than unity.
It's time to give Biden's 81 million voters a chance to be heard and Biden a chance to carry out the plans he ran on, even if he has to play hardball.

The republicans used reconciliation for very rich people tax cuts under trump that’s what they
played hardball in Congress to get
(and tried to completely cancel ACA didn’t work McCain)

I wish more folks remembered history under repugs but they won’t
so replace it with new progress being made on all our nation’s problems that benefit many . A change was wanted by many . Voters need to see results
