It’s bread and circus friend. Forcing congressmen to go public with their stance on the issue.

While I would agree with you and Voroxpete under the old rules of US politics, they no longer apply. Seems to me the average Representative either lies through his/her teeth (assuming they have any), or votes performatively, and then does something completely different, or nothing at all. I have come to really, really dislike this kind of performative vote, seeing my fellow Canadians mislead into believing it actually means that there are folks in the House, outside of two or three, who would actually do diddly-squat to prevent their country from overrunning its neighbours to achieve hegemony. Please don’t tell me how your system works, because it stopped working somewhere around Mission Accomplished.

Well it’s Dems that brought it, so it’s a way for them to raise awareness at least.

It was referred to committee, so ya, a nothingburger
