    I don’t think Dems are the ones who think this.

    too many dems are brainwormed suburbanites who think both parties are "too extreme" no matter how hard the democrats actually "reach across the aisle." They view Republicans being obstinate in the face of weak opposition as evidence that the weak opposition isn't "cooperating" enough.

      Fair point. I suppose the bidenites and mayo peter supporters aren't satisfied until every politician is like their guy

      It's because the media constantly tells them this narrative. Even as you say when the Dems bend over backwards so hard to "work with" the Republicans that they just adopt the Republican policy positions from like 5 years ago.

      It really doesn't matter what happens in DC, the narrative the major media outlets spread is what most people believe. I wish more leftist realized the absolute power in media because it really is the keystone of oligarchical control. And the weakest point as well.

      Even lightly lefty outlets that are self professed "progressives" are a huge step up from the coordinated narrative that the traditional American media sends out.
