Why, exactly, is bipartisanship something to be valued right now? When a political party by and large still won't accept Biden's legitimacy and embraces Jewish space laser people, why is it a virtue to cooperate with it? 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Krugman @paulkrugman

So Rs want Biden to drastically scale back economic relief in the name of bipartisanship. Their offer is insultingly inadequate, and their claims that using reconciliation would "poison the well" are rich given how they rammed through the 2017 tax cut. But there's more 1/ — PolitiTweet.org

Listened to it, and congratulations to the editors. They almost made me sound coherent. I do think it was an interesting conversation, and don't think that's just bc I'm biased. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm not suggesting extraordinary retribution; all we need to do is enforce the law and not reward complicity with malevolence — as opposed to giving right-wingers a free pass the rest of us don't get. You'll be surprised how much that helps 6/ — PolitiTweet.org
