If only we could have prevented this somehow.
The imoetant part is that we've found a way to entirely blame the democrats while ignoring the realities of the policial process.
I expect much more of this as we move to government controlled by republicans.
Every grievance will be the democrats fault. Every triumphant will be of the republican's crafting.
...but Biden signed this bill? Is he not a Democrat or am I missing something?
Unprecendented geopolitical pressures had him signing this rather than any ill will toward lgbtq folks I'm sure. If only the Line-Item Veto had become law.
A line item veto is a far, far worse prospect. As much good as you think it could do with a president that had good intentions, imagine the harm that it could do in the hands of someone like Trump? Passing bills that are remotely bipartisan require a certain amount of compromise; if any of the people involved know that the things they wanted in a bill get stripped out by a hostile president, hen there's absolutely no reason to compromise at all. That's a very bad thing, since it results in complete gov't shutdown and permanent gridlock even if you have a single party controlling every branch of the gov't.
