I think they do these things to try to irritate conservatives’ (and centrists’) hair on fire. They know it has the proverbial snowball’s chance. They know they will never remake the rules of the whole house that way, just by getting the support of the dog and the cat. But they hope to hell that they will.
Humoring them seems more and more to me the way to handle it. Then they certainly can’t accuse us of being grim stuffies.
And when the Trumpian USSC slaps it down... it will do so quoting some apt nursery rhyme.
And then, when they flop down on their little beds, all tired out, we can tell them it’s not all that bad after all. Can they imagine the number of recounting precincts that they’d have to pester for their dog and cat votes, if it was all done as the sum of popular votes and they didn’t like the answer?
