Why Didn't Democrats Stand - Or Even Clap - For This SOTU Line?

It's typical for lawmakers to resist clapping during the president's annual State of the Union address when he mentions policies they oppose. But, when the president touches on issues that are clearly bipartisan, both sides of the aisle usually acknowledge it with at least a golf clap. For instance, supporting our military, investing in infrastructure, combating the opioid crisis, and a budding economy can typically be considered bipartisan issues.

It puzzled social media. Why would these lawmakers not celebrate such an encouraging statistic?
