As offered before. The Dems vote "present", meaning not for or against. So the CR passes, the MAGA base gets what it voted fore.

Apparently, that won't work. The Reps need 60 positive votes. A "present" vote, or abstention, isn't a positive vote. So, a handful of Dems have to vote for it. Albaby explained that when I floated a similar idea.

I don't know how many Dems are in conservative districts, but I think only that type of Dem could do that safely (i.e. not incur the wrath of their constituents).
