The Democrats weren't any more approachable during the Clinton administration, and Clinton never governed with majority rule. He co-opted the Republican agenda and made it his, which is what pissed off the Gingrich Republicans so badly we ended up with the abuse of oversight power by the opposition, that resulted in impeachment for a blow job.
These Democrats are the same people who gave us NAFTA, globalization, welfare reform that has resulted in the saddest abandonment of children in generations (I know, because I'm working with these kids every day), and all sorts of other problems that set the stage for political corruption on the grandest scale since the Gilded Age.
