as to the matter of unity, biden offers an olive branch but is determined to avoid the mistakes of the Obama admin from 2009. Obama had no clue the fix was in with McConnell, whose every action was designed to ensure "that Obama be a 1-term president." Biden will not be played for a fool.
unity isn't mutually exclusive with accountability. sweeping high crimes and misdemeanors under the carpet is about a cover-up and a failure to reckon with attempts to end democracy as we know it and has nothing to do with intentional disunity.
demonize the America first agenda? since when did trump put america first? his order of importance was trump first, trump cronies second, and america way down the list. and what, substantively, did trump actually accomplish with his America first agenda?
he empowered putin. he strengthened "rocket man" and welcomed North Korea in to the family of nuclear powers. he made 0 impact on the trade deficit with China despite his tariffs being a pretty good idea. (he doesn't have enough of an attention span to finish anything.) he alienated our essential NATO allies. he abandoned our asian allies when he left the TPP, which was wholly designed to keep China in check. in iran, he single-handedly managed to restart iran's nuclear program.
name one single substantive achievement that Trump's America First initiative accomplished. trump was an abject failure from a policy standpoint and from a moral standpoint. he failed america and tried to turn our great democracy in to a banana republic. his 4 years will serve as an eternal blight on the great democratic-republic experiment called America and a lesson in why competence and honesty are important qualifications for our elected leaders. he had neither.
