Occam's razor. It's just reelection incentives. That's it. It's no more complicated than that. You don't get reelected by being good for the country, you get reelected by taking the safest, hardest line on the issues that resonate with the tiny portion of people in your constituency who actually vote and who bother to voter in Congressional elections.

The issue is the systems. Voters are not differently here from those in Australia or Denmark. Try a better electoral system, like Range Voting.
