Any group raising their money from small dollar donations has an incentive to do nothing. As soon as they accomplish something, their funding dries up.

- pessimizer 5y agoBoth are raising their money from large dollar donations. They also both accomplish plenty - bipartisan votes pass things in wealthy donors' interests. The things that they do nothing on are "wedge" issues. The filibuster guarantees that those are the only things that can't get passed if Congress stays vaguely equally divided. Passing material improvements to average lives is no benefit to either side.
