It's not that any one person can gridlock Congress, but that the more people you have, the more difficult it is to get enough of them pointing in the same direction to get anything accomplished.
More people you have in Congress the higher chance their view will reflect America causing less grid lock on issues 60-70% believe in. It's not like they wouldn't be in the same party. Also you are more likely to replace bad actors since you will be more engaged and any lone wolf wouldn't matter as much
