It's good politics, if nothing else. More good-sounding* policies for the opposition to have to spend political capital removing. Legislative cannon-fodder, in other words.
*The actual virtue of the policies being mostly irrelevant.
- isostatic 8y agoWhy remove them then? They’re either ineffectual, in which case leave them, good, so leave them, or bad, so remove them. Given that it was quite possible that the democrats would have won in 2016, would Clinton have been pushing to remove them? If they are really bad (rather than good or irelevent) then they’d need to be removed.
