The @nytimes ed board just wrote the dumbest shit I have ever seen committed to text. You want to know why elite institutions are utterly failing in the face of a white nationalist insurgence? Look no further. Every braindead DC dysfunction, right here. nytimes.com/2021/01/27/opi…
This is the worst part. After saying Biden shouldn't take the actual actions he CAN take, it says he is entirely responsible for "hammering out agreements with Congress." And if he fails, it's his fault. And his legacy. 
I literally can not think of a more perfectly crafted way to set Biden up for failure. You couldn't do it better if you had malicious intent.
When Democrats win, they are judged not by whether they can improve people's lives, but by whether they can persuade Republicans to be less insane. It's utterly surreal & ludicrous, but it's been a habit of elite thinking for so long that they don't even notice it any more.
"Mr. President, it's been four years now, and Mitch McConnell is still an asshole. Why should voters trust you for a second term?"
