I know the democrats won't do either but people like Will Stancil (a rando) make me laugh. There's a legion of centrists who self-identify as progressive because they know how many people hate centrists.

Notice how his plan isn't predicated on the amendment passing, merely on forcing the Republicans to engage in a way that (he thinks) makes them look bad.

This isn't policy, it's just posturing.

Ah yes, shaming the Republicans into doing something reasonable, that’s been a totally successful strategy the last twenty some odd years.

Dems: "Have you no shame sir?"

Repubs: "No, I really don't."

Dems: "Ah. Well. Nevertheless..."

In order for shame to work, you need to have respect for the person attempting to shame you. If you don't, it just bounces off you. This is why a six year old calling you poopy pants gets laughed off.
