There’s an inescapable conclusion for why Congress is hyper-partisan:
Voters reward politicians for being partisan.
Some Dems have pledged not to work with any member who voted against certifying electors.
That diminishes their effectiveness, but their voters seem to like it.

I will work with any Democrat to advance legislation that benefits Americans and does not violate the Constitution or my principles.
Emotionally, it can be difficult to work with those who are opposed to so many things I hold dear, but if we agree on one thing, I feel like we owe it to all Americans to work on that one thing.
Omnibus bills make it almost impossible for political foes to work across the aisle on narrow areas of agreement, with both sides maintaining their principles.
Replacing omnibus legislation with “one topic only” bills would make bipartisan cooperation more achievable.
