IKR? Like, if we can add some examples with each of the statements of the Dems doing that, then I feel this could be a very good and convincing piece for libs on the fence.
I think Republicans use spoilers when there’s something somewhat unpopular but it’s gonna pass anyways. Like if there are 54 would-be votes for something in the Senate but it’s a controversial issue, you can expect a no vote from Collins, Romney, Murkowski so it passes 51-49 and they can look better to their constituency. If it’s closer than that, they rotate who votes no, but the three of them never actually block anything
How did you get this out of my brain. This is like, exactly my thought process as someone that grew up in the 90s (born in the 80s)
the Obama Realization
