It's easier to deliver nothing and know your voters won't care too much.

Democrats/Progressives will continue to lose as long as the hermetically sealed MAGA misinformation universe continues to exist. MAGA voters didn't care about the deliverables because *they never knew* about the deliverables.

Sometimes you have to do what is good for the country, long term. You can't always get what you want, but apparently many voters either don't see the long view, or don't care. That's why we had crumbling infrastructure, climate change, etc. People want immediate gratification. Sad!

Sad, but true. Average Americans are used to instant gratification and results, and this attitude has also bled into their views towards politics as well.
