@LuvGreenTea2019 What does that mean? Are US sports now single sex again, or will it be overturned?

@Flick Are you talking about the "Protecting Women and Girls Sports Act". It barely passed the House along party lines. It has to go to the Senate where Democrats have a small majority and be signed by the president.

@LuvGreenTea2019 So the senate will vote against it and it won’t achieve anything? Oh well :(

Important part of american politics: if Trump wins and there's a huge majority elected in both houses, they won't even talk about such a bill. They only vote on bills like this when they can't possibly win

@sj_zero @LuvGreenTea2019 So it’s all just posturing? Marvellous! So much point!

@Flick @sj_zero Depends on the next election...

Unfortunately it's common from both parties. In the past 8 years there's been periods where the Dems had all 3 spots and periods when the Republicans had all 3 spots but that's when nothing gets done.

I guess the upside is it would be rough if the laws were changing every 2 years as power dynamics shifted with new elections.
