I agree. We may need a major conservative party, but none exists just now. It has destroyed its center which could not hold.

I agree again. Biden played a tough hand well and has led toward the middle.

To your other points I would add that Republicans have by far worsened the national debt and weakened our fiscal position more severely than Democrats.

We need reasonable debate about policies. Independents, moderate Democrats, and what rational Republicans remain must form a “coalition of the sane” to move the country forward. I think compromise needs to be rediscovered as our special genius.

Joe Biden has been a master at negotiation and getting something done in this crazy environment.

I get what you're saying but

We kind of have a conservative party. There's a party that wants to conserve the environment, conserve the middle class, conserve resources, conserve medical Care. Conserve social security and on and on. I think the last actual good conservative was Eisenhower. He would make a great Democrat now!
