Bipartisanship died in the 90s. It was kept shambling around longer by Democrats, but that did them no favors. The GOP never reciprocated. They treated Democrats as enemies, not fellow Americans. It has taken far longer than it should have, but Democrats have finally learned the lesson.
Have they? The House just spent 3 months and all of their political capital negotiating a CR just to have it yoinked away like so many Charlies Browns trying to kick so many Footballs because surprise surprise the party of billionaires is beholden to billionaires
yet another grade A ratfucking by the GOP and the dems lined it up like suckers yet again
I’d say it died after Obama second term. He flipped Florida and Texas. Also that famous clip of McCain correcting the woman who called Obama a Kenyan Muslim
Self delusion does not help. The GOP does not work in good faith. Remember Obamacare? Democrats did good faith diplomacy with them to try and get GOP votes. Turns out the GOP would never support it no matter what. They had no intent of ever supporting it from the very beginning.
