Why solve this problem when there are other unrelated problems I care about?

  Yes. OTOH, I've seen New York Times editorials warning that the Democrats will likely lose control of Congress in a few months, because they've been too busy with their ideological d*ck-measuring contests, pie-in-the-sky projects, etc. to pay much attention to the "bread and butter" problems causing daily misery for millions of their potential voters. And a whole lotta those folks are likely to return the "ignore your needs" favor on election day. Government problem-solving rule #1: Any 5-year-old can recite "my government will solve..." slogans. Actually doing stuff requires that you actually control the government.
