Obviously you still have to govern, so compromise is necessary at times. It just seems that the compromises almost always conveniently benefit the centrist and right-wing donor/capital class at the expense of the working class.
There are many policy positions in the U.S. that have greater than 60% support (meaning support from both Democrats and Republicans) that "for some reason" fail to pass no matter which party is in charge.
