I can't believe I gave these people money.

    I'm not greatly familiar with the procedures of the US congress, but I don't see why a bill can't be introduced fully formed, and I don't see why they can't move amendments during the floor. And I don't know why the DSA are saying that it's not Pelosi's fault because of committees when the democrats have enough numbers in the house to move a discharge petition to get it out of the committees

    (Not that it matters because it should be obvious that the democrats don't support M4A and obvious why that is)

      I suppose it depends on the scope of the bill. M4A does have a pretty massive scope so it makes sense that many committees have to have input.

      The DSA statement was just describing the state of the bill so I guess they could've mentioned that Pelosi is responsible for this state not being finished. But everyone reading this knows that.
