Remember, Democrats cannot achieve anything unless they have the Presidency and a veto-proof majority in both houses of Congress, and even then only if they compromise to the right. The Republicans mysteriously only need the presidency or the slimmest of majorities in either house of Congress to push their agenda with no need to compromise.
And a large part of that is because the GOP has a much easier job, they just need to stop the Democrats. They have no real interest in passing legislation most of the time, they simply need to stop the Democrats from enacting policy by whatever means possible and they’ve accomplished their goal. That’s why the Democrats have to compromise and the GOP doesn’t. It’s not really a mystery.
