Good luck finding compromise now in days. I don’t think the left and right are even compatible anymore. Like fuck, everything has been so bulkanized on both sides to the point that no one even agrees with their side either. Not that I’m advocating centrism, the right wing are monsters, but to say we can only do things all sides agree with will make sure NOTHING happens
The last time Dems had a super majority and filibuster proof majority(briefly), we got the second most productive Congress in history. Not to mention the Affordable Care Act.
The 111th Congress was the most productive congress since the 89th Congress.[7] It enacted numerous significant pieces of legislation, including the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and the New START treaty.
Despite Democrats holding thin majorities in both chambers during a period of intense political polarization, the 117th Congress oversaw the passage of numerous significant bills,[3][4] including the Inflation Reduction Act, American Rescue Plan Act, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, Postal Service Reform Act, Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, CHIPS and Science Act, Honoring Our PACT Act, Electoral Count Reform and Presidential Transition Improvement Act, and Respect for Marriage Act.[4]

Yet that’s all the Dems want to do in their endless game of “compromises” even when in power.

You mean Obamacare? The thing they neutered to hell and back to appease conservatives?
You and I both agree, conservatives are the problem.
The left and right were never compatible. They are diametrically oppositional forces.
