By Eugene Scott Eugene Scott Reporter covering identity politics for The Fix Email Bio Follow March 8 at 12:24 PM Though former vice president Joe Biden has not entered the 2020 race, his supporters and advisers are already spinning.
But other candidates vying for the Oval Office are also emphasizing their ability to work with lawmakers across the aisle. They just haven’t been able to harness that message as effectively — yet. Today I'm introducing a new bill – the Next Step Act – to push for bolder, more progressive criminal justice reform. Here's what we're fighting for: pic.twitter.com/98PDv3De5J
On the issue of health care, she is open to “Medicare-for-all” in the future, a proposal popular with the Democratic base. But she said she’s also open to other approaches to the high costs of health care. The Post previously wrote about how nearly two-thirds of Klobuchar’s bills are co-sponsored with Republicans.
Because maybe his idea of bipartisanship is not?
Because they lying.
There is not bipartisanship exist in today’s tribal America. Partisan will totally Trump bipartisan.
There is no reasonable Republican Party left! You cannot engage in bipartisanship with a wholly corrupt party that peddles 24/7/365 lies! They killed bipartisanship! And centrism/incrementalism is NOT going to get us out of this mess! Bernie2020 NotMeUs
Are you serious! The Trump regime is a national disgrace and a threat to humanity. So is McConnell and his band of Trump sycophants. You destroy evil, you don’t compromise with evil.
Why, because there are no Republicans left to be bipartisan with. 90% of the GOP accept Trump and his criminality. McConnell is the Senate leader who said his only priority was defeating Obama. He has no interest in doing anything except retaining power.
Most hard core Democrats are illiterate and may think the word means a Threesome and that's above their pay grade ~
Bipartisanship is dead in America.
Democrats have no intention of trying to get along
Emotions are too raw. Unfortunately we need more bipartisanship, but ppl ain’t buying.
old politics
This is WaPo promoting JoeBiden, SenBooker and SenKamalaHarris because they are all nice “bipartisan” candidates. We didn’t just see the ruthless, vile, destructive Kavanaugh hearings & their promotion of the fraudulent JussieSmollett self inflicted MAGA attacks, right?
Joe Biden is bipartisan?
USA’s political & economic future depends on getting red of the strong Zionist lobbies &media led by AIPAC & Murdoch & media mafia which manipulate & control White House, elections ,candidates, media , Hollywood, Universities, think tanks,and most entities that affect Americans
Forget Republicans, you can’t work with crazy. Dems need to work their butts off getting new voters out to crush Republicans at the ballot box. Go at them, say “you gotta be stupid to vote for that crowd”. Anyone upset by that is already voting GOP.
Which is why Dems need to keep the house, flip the Senate & Whitehouse. Republicans may then work in a Bi-partisan manner
because Biden is more likely to say a bunch of stupid shit he'll have to apologize for.
Probably because he was Vice President for the most partisan president in the history of the country. SykesCharlie, do you seriously not get that?
morgfair Why is he taken seriously?
Because a lot of people, including me, don't trust the evilGOP in any way.
Bipartisanship in this day and age is nonsense; Republicans need to have their power reduced at every level of government.
Because the news media wants to pander to the far left and undercut more centrist candidates.
BECAUSE YOU DONT DO BIPARTISAN WITH NAZIS AND TRAITORS WITH RUSSIA
Remember when Joe Biden shut down the Anita Hill hearings while more women were waiting in wings to testify against Clarence Thomas. Given the kavanaugh nightmare you’d think Biden would lay low for a decade. metoo has promised to upload those tapes on a loop. The women’s vote?
Fuc bipartisanship. Can that exist when one side is voting only on racism. Should the beneficiary’s of that racism vote for bipartisanship.
Because there are no Republicans standing up for the rule of law and against corruption. Once they do then let’s talk about bipartisanship.
Because when anyone says “bipartisan” these days it means democrats compromising and republicans not budging from any of their toxic, destructive, racist, misogynistic policies.
Becouse the extreme left is controlling the agenda..
JOEY NEEDS TIME WITH HIS LITTLE GIRLS,,,,,,,
Clearly you've been in a coma for the past couple decades, but bipartisanship in Washington means conservative policies are being made with Democratic assistance.
Cause we are now all haters
It’s called racism.
The US Constitution vests ALL judicial power in scotus. Therefore no faction of congress has authority to wield judicial power by issuing subpoenas or prefer perjury charges against someone it compelled to appear without constitutional protections. Oversights are unconstitutional
They are all lying. Like Obama, what they are saying is that they believe they can sway members to their way of thinking; or at least barter a deal for their cooperation. None of them acknowledge that congress has no judicial power so they're not competent to be president.
Because there is ZERO intent to be BIPARTISAN from the GOP!!! Or have y’all simply been in a COMPLETE COMA for the LAST 12 YEARS!!
Because we should not negotiate with terrorists. The GOP is rotten down to the bottom.
WaPo is as out of touch as JoeBiden himself because Fuck bipartisanship! Whatever happened to that too tan republican dude? johnboenher
It's easy to see why, the main stream media and others controlling the democratic party want to hide this.
Wait, since when was Joe Biden officially running?
it is unfortunate that SenSherrodBrown recognized this and decided not to become a candidate. what counts now, D’s and R’s is to be the most radical. never worked well. doesn’t NOW. never will.
Obama tried that for 8 years. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.
'BECAUSE TRUMP IS KILLING MINORITIES AND DESTROYING THE PLANET AND WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU THAT YOU'RE NOT SCREAMING OUTRAGED....' --Your Usual Target Demo
For several years now the problem with *working across the aisle* in reality has been the GOP not Democratic unwillingness. Talking about bipartisanship means nothing unless they can explain just how their ideas will succeed where others have not.
Leave it up to WaPo to turn everything into race/sex. Nikki Haley and Condoleezza Rice would be very competitive if they ran. The issue is not race/sex, it's the way we conduct our primaries, which rewards a hard left/right primary with a lurch to the center for the election.
This is not the time to reach out to the other side. It’s time to investigate, correct justices, and fight for our democracy
Biden isn’t running
People don't take Spartacus, I mean, Cory Booker seriously well, because... Joe may have a shot. As a conservative, I could potentially see him as a not-terrible option. Don't know much about Amy Klobuchar, but 'Medicare for all' doesn't sound very centrist to me.
Biden is a subhuman. Not fit to serve anyone in America.
Because they are liars.
The good ship Bipartisan was hijacked by The McConnell Party and scuttled. It sits at the bottom of FuckYou Bay, where it shall remain until the pestilence that put it there has passed into infamy. Anyone attempting to resurrect it before the rot has run its course is a fool.
Because Mitch McConnel is senatemajldr and he doesn’t play nice with others.
Love him!!! Hope he wins!!!
Yeah, we need more give and take with the fascists. I hear some of them are good people.
Because Mitch McConnell is still breathing.
Because Mitch McConnel is senatemajldr and he doesn’t play. Ice with others.
No. we need a president who will stand up to the GOP. Obama made that mistake and we got fucked in the end.
Because Republicans for the last 10 years have tried to make Americans miserable. They hated President Obama so much they took their spite out on everyone. Why and how could you ever trust them.
As Independent, I believe, 'bipartisanship' used by any Democrat in 2019 leaves an educated voter hearing only, 'willing to sacrifice more'. As the GOP has now proved to be 100% corrupt, even anti-reality, I hear, 'I'm willing to be corrupt, radical & anti-Constitutional too!'
No one running on bipartisanship is being taken seriously.
Bipartisanship is dead and I miss it...
Because he isn't.
Every Republican administration since Reagan, Newt, The Clinton Impeachment, Bengazhi, Mitch McConnell, the Tea Party, Freedom caucas, Fox “News”, 30+ years of bad faith, corruption, betrayal. Not hard.
Because Joe Biden can KO (knock out) Drumpf in the first round of a debate boxing match!
Bc bipartisanship means caving on green energy initiatives, real healthcare policy changes and other progressive issues to kowtow to the reps who speak for Big Industries (who only care about profits for shareholders).
Because Liberals want WAR WAR WAR. And mainstream media sides with the Liberals.
Why do TheDemocrats think they need to run on bipartisanship when GOP run on one ideology? How can you govern from bipartisan perspective when GOP have eliminated the Liberal Wing of their party & have almost eliminated their Moderate Wing? There’s no common ground to meet at.
Track record
The reason we need Joe... there's too much uncertainty with the new line up of Dems. We see what Trump does daily. We don't need another loose cannon in the White house. We need someone that will give us a moment to breathe. The other candidates need to prove themselves worthy!
Smh.... who takes any Democrat seriously? That’s one looney party.
Here is one perfect answer among many- Hasn't it become clear that elitist/centrist politics is a con game for politicians to get rich while the ppl lose their shirts- moreover, its LBJ politics for African Americans.
Honestly I don't want anyone to work across the aisle. I want someone to crush the GOP and all those traitors and then put them in jail for their crimes. Call me petty if you want.
Because he's got the highest profile and the younger diverse folks running just got here. Why are you doing the work of the bots, attacking the Dem candidates in this smarmy way? What makes you think that running for president is a done deal?
Bipartisanship doesn’t mean doing only what the Republicans want. Rs and the media seem to have forgotten that.
Duh, they are not bipartisan!
After the last 20 years, you have to ask?
The Socialists and Radicals now run the party, you can't win the nomination from the center, but you also can't win the general election unless you run from the center.
Because bipartisanship is gone. Get used to it. New presidents always have pipe dreams they will be the one to break the gridlock. Yeah right, not in my lifetime.
Not one Republican voted for HR1. Why should we want 'bipartisanship' with a party that opposes democracy, that has to undermine democracy in order to win, and that only cares about winning? Makes no sense. And it's wrong.
The better question is why anyone is still taking Creepy Uncle Joe seriously as a potential presidential nominee. The guy is on video smelling girls’ hair and grabbing and touching them when the girls are clearly uncomfortable with it.
Why the hell would the average person want to get in bed with the party that wants to run up the debt to give the rich a tax break, take away health insurance, suppress the vote, and come after my social security to pay for tax breaks for the rich Bipartisanship? I think not!
He doesn't scale high enough on the Left's ridiculous & phony intersectionality heirarchy
Voters don’t want someone who’s starting position is capitulation to the Senate Republicans who just seated a rapist in the Supreme Court after blocking the Dem’s pick for a year and a half under [checking my notes here] Joseph Biden
Because when an arsonist is burning your house down, you don't sit down with them to discuss if they may want to let you save it.
Joey isnt as attractive as others scorch and run tactics
If Trump is impeached or convicted Biden is a great choice for Trump's racist voters. Biden is on record against integrated schools & busing. He said: 'Who the hell do we think we are, that the only way a black man or woman can learn is if they rub shoulders with my white child?”
Just what the US needs is more mediocrity with gop ultimately running the show and deciding dnc policy. How we got Romneycare and not Medicare for all.
I don't think 'working across the aisle' is very popular right now with Democrats--They have been completely grossed out by the Republican congress and really not in the mood! MSNBC
. The majority of Americans care about the policies and not about the labels-So there isn't a need to know whether the presidential candidates are running on bipartisanship.
Kindly go away.
Because the TeaParty has taken over the GOP and they have publicly and emphatically abandoned any semblance of bipartisanship long ago. They have repeatedly shown themselves incapable of dealing with fact based reality when setting policy. How do you compromise with that?
Klobacher needs to get counseling for her anger management issues before she considers running for any elected office again.
Because they don’t sell newspapers
Bipartisanship is a word as foreign to Democrats as Obama's birthplace.
We need Joe . He can integrate everyone in the Democratic Party. And outside the Party too. Biden runs for president 🙏🏻🙏🏻
The Dems are off the rails. Their policies of communism / baby killings / envy / lawlessness / anti-Semitism / censorship / ---this is the scripted stuff of horror movies.
Plain and simple not winning over our President Trump and Vice President Pence. They are both perfect as Leaders to our people and to the U.S.A
It's been that way for at least 20 years. Bipartisan sounds to them like you're willing to give up what you believe...
Because too much of the Democratic base no longer wants to start negotiations from a compromised position.
One word. Establishment.
because even Americans are able to remember the events of the last 10 years somewhat coherently
Not being willing to work with the GOP ought to help them, not hurt them. I don't want any across-the-aisle crap, the people across the aisle are mostly Russian assets.
Have you met McConnell?
Because everyone knows that they can’t win.
Cory Booker? Really?
Who the hell wants to work with Republicans anymore? They live in an alternate reality and I think most people are over it tbh.
Wait, when did Joe announce? Why is it a headline that he is running?
He’s not running.....yet. Therefore your article is stupid. How’s that ‘analysis’ for you?
I take him seriously, why would you write a headline that's not serious?
USA Wants: Young & Progressive!
my guess is that obama tried that and republicans just ignored him but what do I know
Haven’t seen a single candidate yet lay out policies reflecting bi-partisanship
Straight white christian rich cis-male privilege Obviously.
Climate change is real it's the only thing you should be running on
He’s running
Because it sucks
Nobody wants bipartisanship right now
Taken seriously by whom, fake news?
