Have they tried just doing what would help the general public?

They've made it pretty clear that they'd rather keep losing, as long as it keeps their rich donors happy.

their donors are the same donors as the gop, why would they want to bite the hand that feeds them, which is why they often make backdoor deals with the old guard gop.
