You can't deny though that he spent of lot of his campaign talking about how he could get Republicans to work with him.
Of course they can deny it, they're not motivated by having honest discussion they're just shytposting to get through the week.
This whole discussion started because people were agreeing with this critique of Biden's own recent comments:
And because this group of Biden apologists here are telling us Biden never actually said what we have a transcript and video of him saying 2 days ago, we end up engaging in these idiotic, circuitous debates where we apparently memory-hole the entire 2020 Democratic Primary and pretend no one could have possibly seen Congressional gridlock or Republican intransigence coming, all to protect the dignity of this old man. And that's the generous reading of their motivations. A betting man could be forgiven for looking at the history of the arguments in this thread and wager they're really just guided by arguing the opposite of whatever the
dreaded progressive take is at any moment in order to appear as some kind of wizened old "the truth is always somewhere in the middle" above-it-all dumbass.
Until like last week Biden has been habitually allergic to being publicly confrontational with the factions that are blocking his agenda (Republicans and Moderate Democrats, and he even walked back his tepid rebuke of the former when McConnell pulled up on him) and refused to wield unilateral tools because he is ideologically committed to the idea of American governance as a bipartisan exercise.
Cue the Biden Brigade telling us this was actually a deepfake and no one could have possibly predicted this and to bring it up is just Monday Morning Quarterbacking, and he didn't actually meet with "moderate" Republicans multiple times when initializing his push for his legislative agenda and he didn't subsequently let Conservative Democrats rook him into protracting discussions around BBB, all in the name of his bipartisan ideology
