Political parties exist to provide guidance to people, and to allow people who have similar goals to pool their resources.
Sadly, there are people who cannot think for themselves, and who need someone else to tell them what to do. So, they end up following the party line -- one party or another.
Party politics are not important to congressional organization. In fact, partisan politics is the worse possible outcome.

Lobby money. The bottom line is if their “strongest” supporters do not like what they are hearing they will cut funding. And when you weigh 1 million dollars against 1 million citizens, well that’s a no brainer, or so it seems. .It boggles my mind, the math is simple. You do what a lobbyist wants and you get money and 20 votes, you do what the people want and you get all the votes but no money. Who cares about money, it is votes that gets them elected. The political system is stuck in a whirlpool that has them spending money to get votes, to get the money they go to the lobbyists, so they do what the lobbyists want, because the lobbyist gets them the money from the corporation legally through a loophole, that should be abruptly closed. Our first president knew it was going downhill the first time he saw it in government, see it on the history channel. The only way for that to change is have a humanitarian in office instead of a politician.

Numbers. To get a bill passed you need numbers to support your bill to get it passed. In doing so your support does not go un-noticed, so you get support for you bill when you have one on the table. Or you can add something to a bill to benefit you by your support.
But it comes to the need of Numbers.
