LMAO Dems said beforehand that they don't want this to actually happen, it was designed as a message bill that just "encourages the president to do something", but even this failed.

    No, they wanted it to pass, but it is designed to be a messaging bill. It doesn't instruct the government to do something, instead it is "we encourage the president to look for ways blah blah blah". Like when Congress passes a bill congratulating an NBA team for winning the NBA. It doesn't do anything.
