Gridlock is a perfectly natural outcome for a country that is evenly divided fifty - fifty. In fact if one side were able to advance an agenda as though they had an actual majority that would be acutely undemocratic.

This country isn't evenly divided 50-50. The popular vote was quite different but the senate remains 50-50 with a veto for any party with at least 41 votes. This country was decided as an acutely undemocratic nation, disenfranchising those in many states. It is not a system that works for anyone except a vaucus culture warrior.
