That is unbelievably naive, or immature. One of the two, I&#x27;m not sure which.<p>Public discourse isn&#x27;t the same as what happens when the media spins a narrative about a piece of legislation. You and I both know they don&#x27;t need truth to make a story.<p>And small-time politicians looking to make a name for themselves will always impede the process, regardless of whether or not it&#x27;s a good process.<p>Having the public voice their dissent is good. Letting a piece of legislation get ripped to shreds because some small-name representative has a hard-on for one of the bill&#x27;s co-creators is not.
