...what in this prevents them from doing their job and actually forwarding a pretty objectively good bill?

Don't you see? They must only think about one issue at a time!

Unironically, yes. They can't be doing everything all at once when it takes their full power to even force topics to be discussed on the senate floor and write proposals. Every second that Bernie Sanders talks about weed, for example, would stop him from putting up pictures of Palestinian children begging for water.

Their time? What do you think the senate is, they all just say whatever is on their mind and everybody votes for or against it on the spot?
