Probably not just you, but I don’t see that.
serious question, without naming any politicians, do you think any of the candidates is going to do a good job, from any party, I don’t want to put you in the spot so just yes or no is fine.
It takes two to come to an agreement but only one to start a fight. If one party is dedicated to stopping all progress, the other can only govern if it has a super majority.
but that is both parties when the other is in power, IMO
That's just not true. Dems voted for good bills when they were in the minority and the GOP voted against any Dem bill when Biden/Obama were in power. There are GOPs who voted against Biden's infrastructure Bill, and then took credit for it after it passed.

There are Republicans who spent a decade fighting tooth and nail against Obamacare, and still took credit for Obamacare provisions in their home states.
