No, it's more concerning that individuals elected by wildly different ideologies don't disagree like this more often.
Debate, dissent, and compromise should be commonplace. It's actually about time there was some minute level of dissonance in congress rather than the uniparty machine we've had for a lifetime.

This is a procedural decision it's not like debating legislation.
