it is funny that when obama was in charge & had congress, GOP was 100% united & democrats were divided. for example it was democrats that killed the public option in the senate finance committee, with chairman max baucus casting the deciding death vote. max baucus is a democrat, & voted down the public option.
He's one of those for-sale democrats bernie backers loathe. hilary was also a for-sale democrat.
now. the once divided democrats are 100% united, & the GOP is divided, cannot get things done. both sides wont work with the other. & gridlock endures.
someday a wise man, or woman, will decide that working with the other side of the isle would open up a lot more votes. but sadly it takes a national emergency to get both sides to vote together.
So OP you are incorrect that the democrats have zero power. refusing to compromise with the trump agenda assures its demise in the hands of GOP never-trumps.
looking foward from the comparisons...democrats got voted out in historic proportions since those 1st 2 obama years. the question is whether there will be an equal & opposite reaction to the trump agenda...
