Medicare for all and legal pot both have had an around 70% approval rate for about a decade now. The government simply doesnt care because those things do not make the right people rich. Studies have shown the US gov doesn’t respond to its voters, it responds to its financiers. It honest to god never mattered what we thought.
Congress represents capitalists and works for them, not the working classes. Any plan that cannot address the class conflict and the nature of the capitalist state instruments to uphold their class interests is doomed to fail.
All of the working class has part of the responsibility for the lack of organization, not just the organizations, it’s a two way relationship. PSL is trying a lot so that even myself that isn’t from the USA knows them, perhaps you not knowing that acronym is a fault in your own part.

The time I tried applying they ghosted me for over a month, then I finally got an interview, and they ghosted me after that indefinitely. Later the same chapter defended a cop arresting a protestor against a rearrest which upset a lot of smaller leftist orgs (keep in mind this is the same general area the Prarieland protest occurred), and now the national organization is promoting anti-datacenter protests with literally no context which I’m not sure how that’s supposed to help their popularity. Also their opsec is terrible as well, I mentioned that I have technical skills during the interview but they didn’t seem interested in that.
I know of the Working Families Party and that party has had some success either winning their own election or running as Democrats.
A major job of a political party is to organize. If a party can’t organize while other ones can, maybe I shouldn’t support the party which can’t organize.

There is no current organization of the working class to counter capitalist demands. Without organization, the working class will be kept powerless.
Sure, that’s what orgs like PSL are doing.
Given that I don’t know what the acronym is, they aren’t doing a great job.

it’s not that they can’t organize; it’s that your attention is likely captured by sources that try to suppress their efforts.
The Party for Socialism and Liberation. They are doing a good job, but party building takes time and effort.
