It’s they (plural), but no. They’re very in touch with their constituents. This is performative. It doesn’t matter if it actually goes into effect (in fact, it’s probably better for them that it doesn’t).

Yeah, they could probably get more support from the people by doing actual good things, like taxing the ultra-wealthy more, bringing down the cost of living, and things like that. They are being paid to not do this though, so they have to do performances like this to keep people voting for them. They change it from “we’re trying to help you” into “we’re fighting evil.” It’s all bullshit, but it wins elections.
