Regarding our politicians: “And the more experienced among them don’t waste political capital on performative stunts that don’t actually fix anything.” What would these performative stunts be? Denying a quorum to slow the Senate process?Blocking unanimous consent to kill fast-track confirmations? These aren’t performative actions. They’re the rules by which the Senate operates. Play by the rules but slow the process down to allow public attention to focus on what exactly is happening.
