Wouldn't this suppress republicans more than democrats?
Republicans control Congress, this is bait
Members of the Republican party are doing it to other members who do not support former President Trump.
The consequence is supposed to be that you get voted out of office. Unfortunately, there seems to be quite an audience for bad-faith politics nowadays. And I don't think this is unique to conservatives, and I also don't think that your examples are good ones. It seems increasingly clear that anti-abortion bills, for example, are not being passed in bad faith. The Republican Party really is intent on delivering on its promise to overturn Roe, and it looks like they are going to succ
You’re doing exactly what the Republicans want: they don’t need you to support them as long as you don’t get in their way.Unless you share their goals, you might want to reconsider this strategy.
the democrats have had the votes, but chose not to use them.it isn't that the democrats are for it and the republicans are against it. both parties are against it. the democrats want to run on it though.

It seems otherwise to me. I don’t read many articles in Scientific American, but I recall they endorsed Joe Biden for president last year (it was posted on HN.) My understanding of American politics is that many Republican voters oppose publications that openly support Democratic candidates. Here we have such a publication making a pronouncement about what could be a bipartisan initiative, and it seems like the publication’s political history could influence Republican voters to dismiss the emer
If Trump was really so unpopular, Republicans would throw their weight behind getting rid of him or blocking him in Congress. They still believe that is political suicide with their base which means either he is still popular with their base or they believe he is popular with their base which results in the same inaction.
