    It is about making laws.

    Offering bills and amendments and voting on them is how law is made.

    You have no clue what would have happened if the amendment got 48 votes. Or if McCain would have voted for it if Democrats did. And so on.

    Or if it might have been the starting point for finding compromise.

    The problem likely is that it wouldn't get 48 votes. Maybe not even 20. Because it's both a horrible idea and unpopular with the voters.

    Sure I do - nothing. It would have failed. It takes 51 to pass.

    This is not quite as silly as your "Trump never lies about anything important" argument, but it's close.

    You still don't know if it would have failed, because democrats voted "present" instead of for or against their own interest.

    How can it be a stunt if The People want single payer, Democrats vote for it (even if it fails to pass), and Republicans don't vote for it?

    You talking about "silly." You invented silly. :lol:
