You just can't do it, if the parties are in opposition about a piece of legislation. That's the checks and balances.
Neither party just gets "run over" in the government when the Exec branch and the Leg branch don't agree.
While I will always respect the office of the President of the United States, I will never respect a hair sniffing pervert like Biden. I never respected Trump either. This election isn't a win for the nation as it was a lose lose deal.
I am sad for my country that the 2 best we could come up with was Biden and Trump.

Yes, of course, but the laws that were enacted were compromises. That was what we did before Barrack Obama. How do you think we got Simpson-Mazzoli? Tax Equity & Fiscal Responsibility Act?

That would be "we the people", American citizens, the voting public.

EVERY bill is divisive, but parties used to work together to fix things. Maybe horses came out looking like camels, but is how the system was designed; debate and compromise.

Freakin' A this is pointless if you refuse to get that the parties are in HUGE opposition on just about every piece of legislation that isn't ceremonial.
I hope in his first presidential speech, he evokes Abraham Lincoln -
With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation’s wounds.
Of course- he cheated and wants that to stand.
There is no way that fraud on this scale be allowed to stand, as it means the destruction of the republic. When elections are rigged, there is no reason to be a part of the Union any longer.

I voted for Jo Jorgensen. It is sad that this is the best we can do.

No, Trump cheated. There....I can make stuff up too.
Where was his call for unity last week? 36 months ago? Yeah thats what I thought. Biden just wants a variety of hair to sniff.
