> We know Congress is too deadlocked to be effective.

This just isn't true. Congress continues to pass thousands of laws a year, in line with their historical trends.

Congress is only too deadlocked to be effective on issues that the American people are divided on. And that's basically the point of democracy.

I'm sorry to say that if you want a different set of laws, then you'll need to do the hard work of talking to other voters and convincing them you're right.
