> For your resume, sure

No, for everyone. Some voters like politicians who pass zero legislation while holding firm to their values. Occasionally they get rewarded. Most often, they’re branded–correctly–ineffective. (And, I’d argue, unfit to lead. If you’re using millions of Americans as human shields to pass an ideologically-pure package, that’s immoral and belongs with Twitter celebrities, not leaders.)



You didn't mention the effectiveness or positive effects of the hypothetically passed legislation at all.

You're arguing that it's good for a politician's resume.
