EU has done really well on passing big laws such as GDPR in the recent years, while the US can’t even seem to decide whether to fund their own government. Why do you think Europe is doing better than the US? One would think that since EU is more diverse it would be harder to find common ground. And there were examples of that during the Greece debt crisis. But not anymore, it seems.

    I don’t know, why?

    I never said it wasn’t a thing, just that it’s harder. Open secrets says that there are 12,000 on Washington D.C. alone. I’d guess there are many times more than those on every state, with the largest states having more. It’s a global issue, that’s not an argument.
