I agree that neither party is warm to the the other's agenda, so opposition is to be expected.  As long as we have the divided government model as the ideal rather than the exception it will continue to be this way.  On the other hand, the GOP has taken opposition to a whole new level, opposing everything and compromising never.  Why the need to push obvious instructional advantages further than necessary is a mystery.  They have an innate pro-GOP bias in the Senate, and structural advantage electing Presidents.  Isn't that enough?

I think it's pretty obvious that the business as usual mindset that Biden now represents will be unable to continue and sustain for much longer. As I've said many times, there are a lot of you and a lot of us and returning to business as usual isn't going to please or go over well with either group at this point. If I'm reading the situation correctly, the Republican base is going to hand the Democrats a couple of Senate seats in Georgia and pretty much kill whatever resistance to change that was left within the GOP. One bold move would put the Beltway Republicans/Rhinos and the Democrats in the same boat and open the door for a much more radical/revolutionary group who are more able to match the radical Left tit for tat. As far as electing Presidents, the Democrats have the structural advantage and they have had the structural advantage for quite a while now. Biden's election pretty much proved that once and for all. Biden did what Hilary should have done four years ago. The Democrats deserve to go down hard and if you happen to be reliant upon them that's too bad and it's going to really suck to be you if that's the case.
