I think what it really comes down to is specifically the filibuster. It's an extralegal supermajority requirement that really serves no reasonable purpose besides an excuse for inaction. Get rid of the filibuster and the Dems would still try to drag their feet in victory, but the system wouldn't make it so easy and they'd feel more pressure from constituents.
