Even if Biden wanted to make a deal, he can't, not without Team R screaming about appeasement and bellowing about Munich.
The fact that it was an article of faith among Team D loyalists that the only reason Trump was not even more reckless was because he was a secret Russian agent makes it especially sweet for Team R.
But the real fundamental problem is the zero-sum winner takes all nature of contemporary USA-ian politics. Anything that helps the country but also helps thr other team is bitterly opposed, while policies that hurt the country are supported, as long as the other team is also hurt.
This is a common feature of third world politics. The exception seems to be war and the military, which enjoy bipartisan support rising to the level of sacred cows. This is also a common feature of third world politics.
