I am kind of too scared to ask here, but what did it actually achieve?
There are 25 hours of talking points that can be harvested for a while. The act itself is a talking point.
It likely only happened in response to the backlash Chuck Schumer was receiving for being the ghoul he always has been. It helps recouperate lost good will to do this, or it is an attempt to do so.
It would’ve been nice if he’d done this at the censure of Al Green or something. But
Not much, functionally. Hopefully it will spur more action from others.
The biggest thing i think is it just shows public support for people who speak out against trump which can help encourage other representatives to do the same.
Yeah, it didn’t accomplish THAT much by itself, but it can be a catalyst for other reps to do their fucking jobs.
Ofc other reps can keep bending their knee and then nothing changes
Not much aside from delaying a vote for 25 hours.
Not a goddam thing. It was performative. Democrats aren’t doing shit
