Hmmm. A buddy of mine has suggested a new name for the Democrat's new sub-caucus of legislators who flee votes they won't win: "Fleebaggers"
In truth - this label would apply to any legislators who flee because they can't win, and in a sense, choose to shut down the legislature out of spite.
I'll make this distinct from people who stay present and use available parliamentary procedure to block or delay votes - they at least are present for duty.
H/t, Kevin, who's idea it is.
