re: #715 avanti

You guys have your work cut out for you if that’s true.

It will happen over time. Eventually, constituencies want results, and dogmas will get pushed aside for the sake of practical matters. But in the meantime a great deal of wheel-spinning will eat up time and effort that could be better spent elsewhere.

Your point about politicians raising issues and submitting bills or passing laws, which in the end they know will get overturned, but nevertheless are done for show… is well taken. Playing the victim card is a useful tactic anywhere on the ideologically spectrum. Humans are built to give sympathy, and worldly-wise politicians know that.
