Ten senators triumphantly stood behind President Joe Biden on Thursday as he announced his support for the infrastructure deal they hashed out. It was no small feat to get five Democrats and five Republicans to agree on something, and getting the president on board was a major step.

Bipartisanship is a cherished concept in Washington. When a bill has the backing of Republicans and Democrats, its somehow supposed to be better better representative of what people want, and better able to stand up to scrutiny.

But thats not what bipartisanship is much of the time.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) noticed the glaring disparities in the group that met at the White House, commenting on Twitter , The diversity of this bipartisan coalition pretty perfectly conveys which communities get centered and which get left behind when leaders prioritize bipartisan dealmaking over inclusive lawmaking (which prioritizes delivering the most impact possible for the most people).
