Pure political theater.

Similarly to how the GOP operated from 2010-2016. Pass things you know will never make it to the Presidents desk or that he’ll never sign.

You can whine and complain without taking concrete action on anything at all.

Doesn't it put democrats on the line for note passing it then, thus shutting down the gov't? That's how I view it as an independent. Otherwise, gotta blame the republicans.
