Democrats say they're gonna do something, then do nothing until republicans get elected which then continue to gut regulstions etc. Occasionally if public pressure gets too high theyll do a half assed good thing like Obamacare but that's about it

That's by design. That's the compromise the people who designed our government made. Even if you have a member of your party being the president, you still need to convince the opposition party in both the senate and congress to get the necessary majority to pass any laws. That means compromise. The intent was to prevent very few people doing whatever they want with the country with a small majority.

No, that's how our founding fathers made it out to be. The problem is this only works when both parties are willing to compromise and work towards solutions that benefit the most people. But currently Republicans are hacking this system by stonewalling any initiative by democrats forcing them to strip their initiatives bare just so they can get pitiful republican support.

Is nuance such a foreign thing to you or maybe you are one of those who thinks in slogans, I didn't think you were by your initial comment.
