      well, no, that would seem to mean they’ve hurt themselves, which they haven’t done. hurting themselves would have been to vote for legislation which biden would sign, making it his success. they’re gearing up for a presidential/house/senate election where they needed the issue to campaign on, and passing this legislation would have not only taken that away, but be claimed as a democratic victory.

      the word gaf also doesn’t apply, and they’ve done all this willingly on the bet it doesn’t matter to their racist voters, who couldn’t care less about any single piece of legislation, but care most about putting trump back into the white house, whatever that takes
