President Joe Biden and Utah Gov. Spencer Cox disagree on many issues but they were united Saturday in calling for less bitterness in politics and more bipartisanship.
“Politics has gotten too personally bitter,” said Biden, who has practiced politics since he was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1972. “It’s just not like it was.” The Democratic president commented while delivering a toast to the nation’s governors and their spouses at a black-tie White House dinner in their honor.
Biden said what makes him “feel good” about hosting the governors is “we have a tradition of doing things together. We fight like hell, we make sure that we get our points across. At the end of the day, we know who we work for. The objective is to get things done.”
The good old days are more disgusting in a way.
For instance, lgbt+ stuff is a moral issue. I’ll argue in favor of their rights all day. I will not sit down with the people I’m arguing with and break bread. The opposition wants people dead for existing. He’s literally saying he doesn’t actually care about the issues.
This used to be a game to him, but now the stakes are getting real.
The stakes have always been real. What a window licker
Yep.
Think about how fucked those “good ole days” he wants to go back to were for anyone who wasn’t a wealthy white straight man.
For Biden they were great, and I don’t doubt he truly wants to go back to those days and remembers them fondly for personal reasons.
Fortunately lots of people born after 1960 recognize how fucked up those days were for lots of people.
Unfortunately both candidates in this election were born in the 1940s and for some fucked up reason we’re not supposed to talk about all the reasons that’s horrible for America.
