    Even if that were true, they should STILL try it. You do it to put the pressure on, to slowly move forward, put the idea in the news, on people’s minds, etc. It may seem futile but we have to start somewhere.

      That’s how you waste political capital on ineffective, performative measures which do nothing but guarantee supreme court challenge.

      If you want to waste taxpayer money, this is the way to do it.

        As if “political capital” is being properly spent elsewhere. Must be nice in happy fantasy land.

          Ah, I see - because things are not currently effective, we should actively be ineffective. Bold strategy.

      See that’s what people said during the Trump impeachments. Everyone knew it wouldn’t go anywhere and it changed nothing.
