I always wished that there was a better mechanism for mandates to be prescribed by the electorate
Harper on election would use the term right away, step up say “you have given us a mandate to ____”, where ____ may be an unpopular item, but was part of the overall platform.
Well, in that case, he was the least crappy of the candidates at the time, and it was annoying to hear him say that when you held your nose and voted for him despite such an issue
I agree, Biden has the challenge of reading the minds of very different groups and interpreting just what he can interpret as a mandate that will be ultimately constructive for his party and country
