The simple fact that we can't form coalitions like in a parliamentary system has the liberal left deadlocked. Democratic leadership feel like they don't have to compromise with their left flank to win, while chastising them if they lose. Actually having a system where two parties have to hammer out an agreement to share power would at least turn the fuckin' page already.

Of course, to get a system like that in the States just puts us right back at the image heading this post.
