The “cosponsors” tab is illuminating. Bills on track for actual consideration by a committee (the first real step) will typically have several to many cosponsors. Bills that aren’t—like this one—typically have few to zero.

If a vocal minority flips out, on the other hand, that makes it a priority: you've found new group to engage.
