The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

So let me ask you - what do you think would have happened if the Democrats continued to hold out? How do you see that ending that's different than this outcome?

You weren't addressing me, but I have a hypothesis. It doesn't directly involve Dems or Reps. It's the constituents. Discontent would have risen, possibly to the level of anti-Nam protests in the late 60s. That -perhaps- would have motivated more on the right to follow MTG into changing sides on this one issue. Johnson would then be the bad guy if he didn't allow his people to have their vote.

And Dems still could use Lucille to pummel them. (https://s1.r29static.com/bin/entry/a6c/430x516,85/...)
