Na, Dems refuse to do anything that could be seen as a win for Trump. It's why their main focus is an unattainable health care system. Why not work to find middle ground? The dems refuse to do anything and it's going to backfire bigly.

I do agree they want to deny Trump any "wins."
I don't think that's the right attitude to have. I think better things happen when parties work together, like when Republicans worked with Clinton to try to reduce cyclic dependency on welfare, and when Democrats worked with Reagan to extend the solvency of the social security system. 
I think we can agree that the Democrats in Congress would like to see a lot of spending on infrastructure, but they don't want it badly enough to risk making Trump look like a winner.
This is one of the reasons that I think a president should only ever serve one term, but I digress.
