No way those bloodthirsty backstabbers vote for this.

That's the point. Opposition bills in the US are often put forth to force members of the majority party to publicly vote against it, so that there is public record of their position on things.

It's an easy system to game, too, since it's trivially easy to include a poisoned pill in the bill that will push the members to reject it.

It's like how up here in BC we got 3 conservative MPs to vote against opposing tariffs. Sometimes you just float a clear "no-brainer" bill to make the assholes clearly proclaim their assholeitude.

It's important to never let the monsters hide behind their masks. They want passive compliance; never give it to them.
