I’m not a fan of the Democrats, except that they are the major opposition to the Republicans.
But if you actually want an answer why a theoretical good and honest politician might do something like this, it could be agreements behind the scenes.
If you could get Republicans to stop cutting the ACA subsidies, and the trade-off was something not tangible, like having a day of remembrance for a bad person, you might do it just to save lives.
It is a minority politician’s job to make deals if it furthers their agenda. Obviously, I don’t know if this is what happened here, but it’s theoretically possible.
I sure hope so. Otherwise they are legitimizing a monster for nothing.
