then why are they doing a bunch of weird procedural poo poo to pass a bill with like 16% approval among the public?

because they're equally afraid of their hard base of that 16% primarying them. the mercers and steve wynn have basically said they're gonna kill heller due to saying bad things about the bill

it's a super obvious punt and other then Collins and murkowski you don't want to be branded as killing the repeal because it funded abortions

They don't care about the deficit, they care about making the tax cuts permanent because last time they tried the 10-year expiration thing a Democratic president came along and just let most of the cuts expire.

this one doesn't even have the tax cuts lol it's something everyone will hate

Yup, accelerationism solves everything in health care, just like everywhere else in politics. :jerkbag:

I mean Matt Yglesias isn't some weird tankie accelerationist so I'm not sure why your calling basic political analysis something incredibly radical.

It could also stand to have the legislature process much more transparent and not be able to have the ability for a bill introduced at literally the 11th hour if a party decides to shred all norms.

In fact codifying some of the norms would probably be a good idea!
