Glaude: Biden Needs to Understand What His Goals Are and that Bipartisanship Seems to Only Apply to Democrats

‘Oftentimes the appeal to bipartisanship is in fact a strategy to contain, right, democratic efforts to implement their policies’

EXCERPT:

GLAUDE JR.: “You know, Stephanie, I think that’s absolutely right. And this is why. You know, oftentimes the appeal to bipartisanship is in fact a strategy to contain, right, democratic efforts to implement their policies. And the idea is bipartisanship seems to only apply to those — to Democrats and not really to Republicans when they hold office. So I think Joe Biden and his administration, I think the president needs to understand what his goals are, what the needs of the country are, and proceed accordingly. And try to move beyond, right, the kind of partisan -- partisan bickering and try to address the suffering that we’re experiencing. And I think that should be the animating value.”
