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.”
Biden just doesn’t understand what life is like for lots of Americans.
A shit ton of us have to live in the red states these Republican governors run, and we know they’re terrible people who will never compromise.
The American president needs to have a realistic worldview, not stuck in a reality that stopped existing literal generations ago.
Like, he’s reminiscing about Nixon and Regean’s heydays, what rational person thinks things were great back then?
