A lot of people are jaded : Dems despair amid D.C. gridlock – POLITICO

Efforts to forge a bipartisan gun control deal in the Senate have fallen apart. A sweeping Democratic elections reform bill has failed. A self-imposed White House deadline for a police reform bill has come and gone. And while there was a breakthrough on infrastructure talks on Wednesday evening, the fate of that legislation remains unclear.

Five months into the post-Trump era, the promise of Democrat-occupied Washington is crashing into reality. Donald Trump may be gone, but the sense of hope that permeated the Democratic Party s rank-and-file after his defeat and the accompanying capture of Congress is being replaced by a haze of disillusionment that threatens the party s prospects of generating enthusiasm in the run-up to a critical midterm election.
