   Dems perpetuate a problem that they can manipulate to attract voters. They   
   may pretend to solve it but poison the solution to make fiscally responsible   
   people vote it down and appear to oppose it.   
      
   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrecking_amendment   
   "Wrecking amendments can pick up more votes than motions against, because   
   observers tend to focus on who voted in favour and against the Bill in the   
   final count, rather than looking at the amendments made during the passage   
   through the legislature."   
      
   We sometimes do it in town meetings, I've added a few amendments to invert   
   or at least soften the effect of radical petitioned proposals. "Will the   
   town vote to support/oppose yadda yadda..." On budget items zeroing the   
   dollar amount kills them without changing other wording or intent, as what   
   town residents are allowed to change is limited.   
      
   During the discussion of an amendment I proposed I heard liberal sheeple   
   asking the author of the warrant article which way to vote because they   
   weren't sufficiently familiar with details of leftist dogma. They couldn't   
   or didn't dare think for themselves and risk their conformist self-esteem.
