Playing bipartisanship is asinine as a political strategy. If you're "independent" right now, you shouldn't reproduce as you're too dumb. It's best to not waste time playing patty cake and risk losing the mid terms, just ram shit through and let results bring the "independents" over. Achieving fuck all not only loses you the independents but your constituents on "the left" who only voted for you to throw democracy a life line.
Fine, you wanted to appease the pussies not paying attention the last 4 yrs in 2020, you got their vote, time to flip flop, he's entertained "bipartisanship" long enough.

As you said, I wish Biden and the Democrats played hardball and did as much as they could.
To be fair, they did improve over the years (compared to the past). Biden may say "bipartisanship", but he and the Democrats have gone alone many times just the past 6 months alone.
Also, the world does not work like that. So many people don't watch news and don't care about politics. So, a lot of people are "independent" although they may lean toward one or the other party. And, the current Democratic Party does not work like that, either. It has far broader demographics than the Republican Party. Why do you think Biden, not the other candidates, won the Democratic Party's nomination? The other candidates were not that great... But... He had name recognition but also appealed to more moderate and older people.
Anyway, if they really attempt to include DREAM Act in reconciliation and succeed, we all be happy... although I am not sure the parliamentarian will be okay with the legalization aspect..
