This may be for show but that’s more show than they were willing to show 2019-2021. Republicans were throwing out certain to fail bills constantly for at least the last 25 years. It at least throws people a marketing bone and also any that make it out of committee to a floor vote, it puts on record/something to market for/against an elected public servant. Republicans effectively steer public opinion against their own to their advantage for getting stuff passed and who they want into office. Democrats do not.
It’s one way to craft a publicly recognizable party ideology that the democratic party has failed to build up these last few decades. The we’re not republicans, we looks and sound more professional doesn’t work. Something like this is a major improvement. If it makes it to the floor for a vote, which democrats and republicans will vote against or abstain. We should want that for potential future primary challengers and be encouraging these
No it is not. Democrats did plenty of performative theater in the past. They even have a rotating villain cast which will always make sure there are just enough Democrat votes “betraying” the party to make Republican legislation pass.
its performative, the gop isnt on board with this and likely they will block it. dnc has alot of bad publicity recently, israel/gaza, inaction trump, plus ending shut downs early,etc.
THE gop has largely convinced thier own base that higher wages =higher prices.
they get more good publicity by raising the MEDICAID/care income cap, where you have a max income on which you can receive "
recieve free healthcare" or reapplying the covid-area susidies to the ACA.
