    Can you elaborate on the disconnect between what the parties are doing and what their constituents want?

      The parties do what their bourgeois owners want. No surprise, that doesn't line up with the desires of the general public.

      Chuds want Republicans to back up their election investigation. They truely believe Trump won the 2020 election and are furious the party isn't going to bat for them. Even just playing the obstructionist game is to accept their big wet boy lost and Biden is the president. On top of that, acknowledging the virus is enough to make chuds froth at the mouth.

      Democrats know they need to be seen doing something in the wake of a pandemic. The problem is, all the things they have talked about doing are things their donor's would really rather they didn't. So Manchins and Sinemas are allowed to dictate the party line and shift the blame. Trouble is, the Democrats have demonstrated numerously that there are many internal mechanisms to bring a wayward member in line - but they only get used on representatives to their left. People see and remember that.
