The Democratic Party legislates as if it represents all Americans. Which means compromise.

Rarely has the Democratic Party held all three branches recently. Holding the senate is a huge win for the republicans - they can be as obstinate and block things and only need a barest majority to do appointments and many other procedural shenanigans.

Like what the fuck is the house supposed to negotiate with? “We won’t pass bills”: the republican senate is entirely happy not to have bills passed. Now what?

The Republican Party is entirely devoted to debasing government and spoiling the notion of governance.
