The problem is that supporters of the "business as usual politicians such as this (or pardoning federal inmates convicted of marijuana possession of which there were zero) hold things up like this whenever one criticizes them in order to claim that they’re doing so much to help the country.
Throwing scraps on the floor in order to get better polling numbers before an election isn’t serving the people.
Then criticize them then and have them stay on topic, and I’ll be right there with ya. Right now though, they’re not using it as a bludgeon. It’s just a nice win. Do you not see how your approach will lead to nothing but cynicism over time? Even if you strive not to, you will begin to view every win as some sort of maneuver to get one over on you.
Biden started the momentum for capping late fees over a year ago. He mentioned it in his State of the Union address. This is just how government works. I don’t think having some progress made in March of an election year after initiating desire to make progress over a year ago is scaps on the floor. It is competent governing.
