Are the Wisconsin state legislators who ran away to hide in Illinois being cowards?

1 Answer

Answer :

I suspect that the legislators think they are doing their duty by avoiding the vote. And it’s the vote they are avoiding, not the debate. The debate is ongoing, as are the protests. I fail to see how they are cowards, unless you think they’re just afraid of losing a vote. But I don’t think they’re afraid. I think they’re doing everything in their power to get their way—which members of the other major party call “courage” whenever they’re the ones doing it.
