Idiocy.

This "stunt" is an effort to negotiate. You could also call refusing to negotiate a "stunt". It's a political strategy being pursued by the Dems, but you want to make it sound like Biden and company are "standing on principle". They're not, and you're deluding yourself for thinking that they are.
