Compromise kind of defeats the entire point behind a split Congress/WH.
The two party system tied to our "balance" between the WH, Senate, and House, is a zero-sum game. If anything, we should be glad for gridlock. Government would be far scarier if it was an actual effective machine at legislating. It'd be all roses if it happened to be legislating things you love, but a complete nightmare if you happen to be on the other side of that divide.
