In this speech, Biden said that he would "consult" with Republicans about his Supreme Court pick. I hope that was just a "diplomatic" answer for the cameras because there is no reason for him to be "consulting" with Senate Republicans about his Supreme Court pick or picks.

That line will further frustrate some progressives who feel that Biden "will just nominate some right-wing or centrist judge. Why should I vote?". I'm voting for Biden but sometimes he's a bit too "diplomatic" and "nice".

This is 100% Biden.  Biden is an old school, Senate institutionalist.  He believes that the Obama-Trump era of partisanship is a aberration that he is morally and personally prepared to correct.  This is a major theme that Biden stresses in his campaign.  His politics are straight out of the 1980s.  He is not a candidate for our time. 

Okay? Is this....bad?

Uhhhm....I’m giving you the reason why Biden sometimes sounds too “diplomatic” and “nice” for you.  It’s a criticism of him you yourself raised, lol.  There’s nothing normative in my post.

Maybe you shouldn’t go around getting defensive just because a scary “R-MS” avatar corroborates your own post lol
