What’s the difference between voting to DEEM something passed and actually voting to pass something? Would the American people really fall for semantics like that?
A sizable percentage of the American public couldn't define the difference between a Senator and a Representative.
Will it make a difference? It will certainly make a difference to people who are politically engaged. To the people who spend their days watching Oprah and Jerry Springer, it's completely over their head.
Thank you public education system.
“DEEM something passed and actually voting to pass something?”
Deeming it passed end runs an actual vote. It’s like ‘ditching in line’ or saying, “I got that.”
It’s cheating the record and in violation of Parliamentary Procedure, as it removes the choice and the voice.
