Do they even have any kind of plan or are they just throwing the same shit at the wall and hoping ten people fuck up their vote and hit the wrong button?
Given the average age in the US Senate, hoping for a collective mental failure during a vote isn’t unreasonable. Or just waiting until a few people die off during the process, perhaps?
More likely it should be chalked up to ideological stances overriding democratic compromise. The electorate is so divided with one side (see: alt-right fascists) demanding unreasonable governance. The #1 goal of politicians is usually to get reelected. If they feel their voting base won’t accept a compromise they’ll sit on their thumbs until the country burns down around them.

The plan is not changing and hoping the other guy blinks first.
