In complaining about Democrats not doing what they were elected to do.  Actually they are doing what they were elected to do in the divided and gerrymandered country we live in today.  They were elected to stop the Republicans and Donald Trump from getting anything done!  Between 2009 and 2016 the Republicans were likewise elected to stop the Democrats and Barack Obama as demonstrated their pledge early in the Obama administration that their primary purpose was to ''make sure Obama is a one term president''!  There once was a time most Democrats and Republicans had at least some ideological overlap and were willing and even considered it their charge to work together whenever possible and to always put the country ahead of party or ideology.  Until and unless those days return the nation will continue to race to the bottom!
