And Republicans voters would still blame Biden. And Dems will still try to win them over.

same as the baby formula vote; i just have such a hard time thinking this is the complete and total 100% story.

can someone shed a little more detail on it? what was in the bill, why did they vote no, etc.

again like with the baby formula, i just have such a hard time thinking there's this room of ~200 people rubbing their hands together and thinking "making the country a better place for everyone including ourselves? NEVER!!!!! EVERYONE VOTE NO!!!!!!"

https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/3494387-house-passes-gasoline-price-gouging-bill/amp/

The bills Democratic opponents argued that the legislation would be ineffective in addressing high prices.
The Consumer Fuel Price Gouging Prevention Act would not fix high gasoline prices at the pump, and has the potential to exacerbate the supply shortage our country is facing, leading to even worse outcomes, Fletcher said in a statement.

Analysts support their arguments.

At best, this bill is a distraction that wont actually address the problem. At worst, it could make the problem more severe, said a statement from Murphy. She cited comments from former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, in which he said the bill could cause and contrive all kinds of shortages.
Republicans argued that Democrats were seeking to shift blame for the gasoline prices.
First they blamed it on COVID, then they blamed it on Putinand now theyre blaming it on mom and pop gas stations who are often just struggling to get by, said Rep. Debbie Lesko (R-Ariz.).

Basically: the bill isnt fixing the actual issue, theyll end up targeting small gas stations struggling to survive and not the actual oil companies, and shifting the blameagain. This bill needs to die.

Shell had something like 3.3 billion in profits first quarter 2021, and 9 billion in 2022, going by memory so don't quote that. Gas could be under $3 easily right now, fuck these people.

House Republicans urged their members to vote against the measure, with House GOP Whip Steve Scalise writing to Republican members that the bill "is an attempt by the Majority to distract and shift blame from the administration's self-inflicted energy and inflation crisis and blame energy producers,

The bill doesn't really seem that great, but as always the Republican's response is full of shit

Prices are market driven, supply and demand. We dont have enough refineries to meet US demand increase after the lockdowns were lifted, which is due to to environmental policies put in place by Democrats that make it ridiculously expensive to build new ones and keep old ones up to code. Combine low supply and high demand with high oil futures and you get high prices.

No. I just recognize when it's important to ask more questions and understand that not everything is as surface level as "I'm going to be evil for literally no reason."

Post 23 answered what I was asking in great detail. And is that still 100% of the story? Probably not. Which is why, again, it's important to ask questions instead of immediately assume every <140 character headline is the entire story. Truthfully, it's why the oligarchy still is in power; they've effectively pitted the common folk against each other by creating this boogieman two-party system resulting in everyone being too angry yelling "LEFT BAD!" or "RIGHT BAD!" to band together and understand that the problem is at the top, thereby correctly beginning to yell "UP BAD!"
