This is actually what they want. Remember dems are trash, and they aren't "bad" at politics, they want these things to happen.

mark pocan is a leading member of the progressive caucus. he's voting no on that bill because if he votes yes and the bill fails (it'll fail, it's a republican controlled congress) he can't bring the bill to the floor again, not because he secretly wants the bill to fail. this, btw, does not prevent other democrats from voting yes on that bill.

pocan and his colleagues are going to use the bill's time on the floor to flame the gently caress out of the republicans for creating and enabling ICE child rape camps. if/when the house goes blue in november, pocan is going to bring the bill to the floor, vote yes on it and pass it to the senate where they can shame people for voting no on it // to trump's desk and permanently pin him to the policy (which helps in the 2020 election, unless trump decides to step down) or force his hand on the bill (much less likely)

this is getting as stupid as people insisting that trump isn't a putin puppet at all

paul ryan is deliberately bringing pocan's bill to the floor because he knows it'll fail and he thinks he can get a win/win here -- try to attack democrats in this fall's election campaigns for doing something as RaDiCaL as abolishing ICE, or attack pocan et al for voting no on their own bill (remember, republicans have absolutely no shame about hypocrisy) showing that they aren't actually serious about abolishing ICE and are doing a political stunt

the gop base is a minority. it won't matter how much they rile up the gop base, we outnumber them by a pretty serious amount. we just have to turn our own people out consistently, and it's seeming like trump is enough to rile them the gently caress up and get them out to the polls, then we can start working on undoing all the structural advantages and corruption keeping the republican scum in power

can't they create another "abolish ice, but this time it's legally different" bill, and introduce that to the floor when this one is voted down?

voting "no" on abolishing ice just to save a bill you wrote looks really, really bad. it send the message that parlimentary procedure is more important to you than ending child concentration camps. you don't need a bill on the floor to flame republicans, they should be doing this day in, day out (see maxine waters).

speaking of Maxine Waters, remember when the donut emoji crowd turned on Schumer and Pelosi for all of five minutes just two and a half weeks ago? that was fun. can't say I'm surprised that they have the memory of goldfish though
