Anything that's a political talking point will not get completely solved. Basically the puck will get passed back and forth, pushed here or there but never across the goal line. The representatives only want to get elected and re-elected not solve issues. Problem solvers get shown the door on Election Day.
Keeping social issues alive keeps political figures in the game. Staying in government office makes them multimillionaires. Really they try to keep the balance of fence sitters in their favor; making drastic changes will alienate some fence sitting voters.
Hardcore republicans didn't elect our current cadre of officials, fence sitting moderates made the difference.
