To former Vice President Joe Biden a non-partisan vote means getting the left wing of the Democratic Party together with the moderate wing of the Democratic Party.
0%. 0%. Like, you know, "Partisan." Biden - incidentally one of the country's most notorious abusers of the word "Literally" - was asked by "Good Morning America" host George Stephanopoulos why he thought a partisan impeachment would have been wrong in 1974 with Nixon and 1998 with Clinton but right in the case of President Donald Trump.
"It's not a partisan impeachment. He violated the Constitution, period," Biden said.
Even if it's a party-line vote, it's not partisan, even though that's what partisan literally means - as in literally literally, not just hipster guy talking about how he thought the latest Wes Anderson movie was the literally the worst movie ever - because the vote "Reflects on those who know in their heart" what Donald Trump did was wrong.
This is the weakest way I've heard of explaining away how partisan impeachment was by saying it wasn't really partisan because, um, shrug emoji?
It's because Biden appears to be claiming that a party-line vote isn't a partisan impeachment because - apparently - his party is the one involved, and he wants to pretend the Democratic Party doesn't do anything for simply "Partisan" reasons.
Biden is trying to turn "Partisan" into "Bipartisan." To quote "Mean Girls": That is so fetch!
