You have to be really out of touch to think the average American cares more about "bipartisanship" than they do about getting results from the people they elected when it comes to things that improve their lives like infrastructure, health care access & protecting democracy, etc.
News coverage should emphasize what the people really care about instead of giving priority to what Joe Manchin or Mitch McConnell or Chuck Schumer say they care about.
People in this country have, frankly, often felt more screwed over by "bipartisanship" than helped by it.
The drug war? Bipartisan.
The 1994 crime bill and mass incarceration? Bipartisan.
Reefer madness? Promoted by Republicans and Democrats alike.

In Mississippi, Democrats kept this state 50th in everything good during a century+ reign of Dem governors (til the 90s) & in the Legislature (til losing the Senate in 2007).
In the decade since the GOP gained total control, we've stayed in 50th.
Bipartisanship, y'all! 🤡
