I think Biden should attempt to compromise with Republicans. If that fails then he should negotiate with Democrats suspend the filibuster.
Biden is the best Democratic President Republicans could hope for
He has proven to be bipartisan for over 50 years and his first impulse will be to work with Republicans on compromise legislation.
However, if McConnell acts like he did with Obama and seeks to obstruct all legislation. Biden will have no choice but to let lose the hounds
I'm not sure how much the filibuster issue really has to do with Biden. I'm not posting an original thought in thinking Biden remembers a Senate that ceased to exist at least ten years ago. Maybe a couple of republicans would have crossed the aisle in Obama's first two years to approve of just expanding Medicare to cover the families at 130% of so of federal poverty level.
But we'd be kidding ourselves to think the gop would actually agree to MAKING insurance companies offer contracts to folks with preexisting conditions (even just being pregnant) or covering kids until they were 26 …. or Oh my God covering wellness services without making people first meet their deductables. (Oddly insurance companies would cover IUDs gladly - even for the XIANs - since that actually SAVES money)
And that's despite Obama having a mandate to enact universal coverage. And I'm no fan of what the Dems actually passed.
But Biden will be running the dem party if he wins. Schumer and Pelosi will both be on board with beginning the 2022 congressional races, and the 2024 election of day 2 of his presidency.
