Yes. Believe it or not. The Obama years were a bit better. Back then, the Democrats were less savvy and had less urgency. Immigration, particularly DREAM Act, was not a big priority. So, it got pushed behind other priorities such as health care, which actually pushed the Democrats out of power in the House first. In 2013, the Senate passed an immigration reform bill with 68 votes. Can you imagine that? Even if the Senate had 60 Democrats today, I don't think we could reach 8 with the current Republican Party.

So, yes. Bipartisanship was doubtful even in the Obama years, but it was not like this. There is really no hope now.

As for the "bipartisanship" Biden campaigned for, it is good politics. It is good politics in terms of appeasing independent voters. Is it effective in terms of policy enacting? Maybe not... It frustrates the left of the Democratic Party.
