Legislation proposed in the last few months before elections often contains hidden agenda items designed to make it unacceptable to the opposing party. The aim is not to pass the bill but to use it as a political tool to embarrass the other team. The bills are strategically named to sound appealing, like the bipartisan border security bill, to manipulate public opinion without revealing the complex or controversial details within. Such bills may include 'poison pills', attractive exteriors hiding harmful elements inside, serving as a warning to stay away. This strategy is employed to deceive the public and further political agendas without intending actual bipartisan cooperation or legislation passing.
