He has also failed to cure cancer like he promised. Depolarization is a two way street though and I don't think people WANT to unite. This country is addicted to rage and there's nothing anyone can do. IMO, the left has a lot more to be angry about than the right given that the right is getting their way more.
Sure, but again: it's not my fault that Biden made unrealistic promises which he had no chance of keeping.
If the left or the right is getting more out of him, in terms of policy, will imho come down to whether the $3.5 trillion spending bill gets passed or not. If it doesn't his presidency seems destined to be a failure from a progressive pov.
Uniting seems impossible. I believe we're long past the point where there's just too many issues on which compromise has become impossible. The U.S. is perhaps 10 years ahead of Europe in this regard, but it's happening pretty much everywhere.
The only two paths forward that I see, long-term, is either civil war or geographic self-sorting of the "two tribes", coupled with devolution of power from the federal to the local and state level.
