It shouldn't surprise anyone that voter turnout is low when the Dems have nothing to vote for. Only against. The fact that they haven't learned their lessen only pours salt into the wound.
The republicans aren't interested in compromise. Just recently the dems offered everything the repubs wanted, and only asked for DACA. They couldn't even get that. So where's the compromise coming from, except the Dems moving to the right?

That is a given. But that is why it is important that those who oppose them compromise as much as possible to form a strong alliance. Getting all pouty anytime a pet issue isn't enthusiastically embraced only helps the republicans hold on to power. They have no scruples but they have the team thing down cold. We need to get more of that without becoming them.
