We're surprised because in the past people in Congress have worked together, and in some cases have done good things by working together. You are also wrong about people from New York and Alabama; on some issues, Americans are mostly in agreement with each other, but that is not reflected in Congress. Net neutrality is an example of an issue the majority of Americans agree on, across all political perspectives. Social security and medicare are supported by a large majority of Americans. You would not know it from the people in Congress, who have managed to turn all the above and more into partisan issues despite the broad agreement by their own constituents.
