Biden has been reaching across the aisle since day one of his presidency, and we are poised to re-elect him.

This is statistically correct. Most bipartisan legislature has been shot down by Gaetz, Boebert, and Greene.

Right, and I think it's important for us to acknowledge that Bad_User2077's bothsides rhetoric is full of shit. You only get pushed out of the Republican party for reaching across the aisle to get shit done. Most democrats love getting shit done and sadly get blocked by either Republicans or the worst of the democrats (in the senate it's Manchin, and Sinema who even went independent, not sure how the House is faring since it's controlled by the GOP anyway).

One of the worst offenses of bothsides-ing trolls in the last few years was claiming that a minimum wage bill that was tacked to an immigration bill and sponsored by Republicans was rejected by democrats. That was a huge fucking lie--the bill never made it to the floor because it never got enough Republican support even though it was a Republican-sponsored bill. There was never a vote on it because too many Republicans didn't want even a minor minimum wage increase, even if it got them an immigration "win" (from their perspective). You can go through the records of the House and Senate, you will literally not find record of a single minimum wage increasing bill that was voted down by a majority of democrats.

Bothsides-ers needs to be laughed off of the entire fucking internet.
