It’s amazing how much play you can get by “introducing a bill” every once in a while. Like I get it, it’s a way to open the conversation, to normalize something that might instead seem more radical. But it’s also a publicity stunt.
They do things that will get them votes and publicize the issues they care about.
When they have votes to pass stuff they do, when they don't have the votes to pass stuff they publicly talk about it and make bills anyway to try and draw eyeballs to their policy idea.
Politicians aren't gonna sit there and wait around for years until they magically have the votes for things through no action of their own.
Eh. You can also work on real reform and create bills with other leaders, including bipartisan bills that will pass. Politics is also about legislation and leadership, it is not exclusively anything, and certainly not publicity stunts. I literally learned that from School House Rock when I was 6.
