I fully agree. Historically, the American voters have tended to not let one party have the upper hand over the other for any length of time. If the folks in the middle become sufficiently unhappy with how this second term is going, they very well might shift left in coming elections.
I believe the dems are in a fix of their own making and until they put a comprehensive platform together that sells what they are rather than what they are not, they will remain there.
I also find it repugnant that the repubs are using their current majority status to make highly questionnable rule changes to shut out any participation by the dems.
I hope independent or centrist voters are watching closely.
