Voting blocs within each major party and Congress are creating a winner-take-all attitude toward crafting public policy, paralyzing progress
A third-party candidate could win the presidency if the major parties offer voters a Biden-Trump rematch.
Much as they do in the case of Donald Trump, the Republican former president, voters three decades ago had questions about the character of Bush’s Democratic challenger, Bill Clinton, because of his draft record, rumors of extramarital affairs and Hillary Clinton’s law practice’s dealings with the state of Arkansas.
Governments would be formed by cobbling coalitions, and, in many ways, Biden essentially has done that. After defeating Sanders and other progressives by projecting himself as a moderate in the 2020 primaries, Biden embraced some priorities of the progressive left, such as student-loan forgiveness. After getting much of his agenda through Congress, deficits are at record levels, inflation is too high, wages have not kept up and the president gets poor marks on the economy. His job-approval ratings are lower than a snake’s belly, though comparable to other recent presidents at the same point in their first term.
Americans, after COVID, ballooning deficits and inflation, want a dialogue based on unity, not more pain. What the GOP House majority and Biden’s West Wing likely can’t tolerate, is an agenda for One America. We can’t have a winner-take-all presidency that is either anti-woke or reduces all issues to race, gender and historical injustices.
