Despite razor-thin Democratic majorities on Capitol Hill, Biden is determined to pass an ambitious agenda with no support from Republicans.
The clearest indication of Biden's bait and switch came with the stimulus bill.
Biden quickly rejected the Republicans' proposal, made no effort to meet with them again or negotiate any compromise, and chose instead to push for a bill three times as large, much of it to be spent long after the COVID crisis has passed.
The filibuster rules, Biden says, are nothing more than "Relics of the Jim Crow era." He's relying on the distant memory that, more than half a century ago, Southern senators used the filibuster to oppose desegregation.
Third, Biden is betting that voters in 2022 and 2024 will care a lot more about today's practical results than about yesterday's broken campaign promises.
As a candidate, Joe Biden promised voters a center-left agenda and bipartisanship.
Biden's deception is based on the oldest marketing technique in the book: bait and switch.
