I’m glad the Democratic lawmakers are not pulling a Fetterman. If the Democratic lawmakers always vote Republican, why even vote for them in the first place?

I feel like this is backfiring for Republicans. No one sees them as honest anymore.

I mean, it feels like Repubilicans have gone too far on this one. It’s just becoming noise. No one believes the Republicans anymore. Someone neutral could ask, “If you want the Democrats to vote for it, what did you do to get their vote?” And the response would be, “Nothing.”

Exactly, the last democrat to capitulate to republicans without getting anything in return was John Fetterman, and it’s not like he didn’t get his reputation damaged for doing so.

They are already vilified by Republicans, so it isn’t like they have anything to lose. If the Democrats cave, they will just be vilified by Democratic voters, too.

What is the Republicans end game here? Democrats aren’t going to vote for his bill without getting anything in return. Why would anyone think otherwise.

I think the Republicans want to shut down the government. The Republicans haven’t added anything to the bill that the democrats asked for. It isn’t like it’s a suprise that they don’t have any Democrat votes.

I thought something happened. SNP 500 is just down half a percent over the last month.

Do the trade rate modifications count?

I know a lot of other social medias censor this idea, but throughout history, a lot of human rights only came about when people rose up to defend it.

Oh, that’s valid, and forks could be called “asexual propagation”

Cherry picking from one trunk to another could be called grafting.

There is already pruning.

If there is no AI used, it could be called GMO.

I’m not sure if there is a tree analogy for merging trunks together, however.

Cause git doesn’t work that way. There is no trunk. It’s all branches.

I watched that cage match when it happened. Mankind lost a tooth, if I remember correctly.

Well that’s just straight mean to fags.

It just bothers me that “master” branch is a misnomer. It’s a hold over from CVS/SVN where there was actually a central authoritative branch. I’m not necessary saying the other reasons don’t have merit, as well.

The best reason is always in the comments

I thought for many other countries equality wasn’t a foundational belief, it was adopted later after the country was formed.

The belief in equality is what ultimately lead to slaves being free, right? The country was founded on the belief that all men are created equal as a goal to achieve, not a statement of how things were.

But you are right, it was hypocrisy to say that and have it not apply to everyone.

In the Deceleration of Independence it states that “All men are created equal” and have certain rights like life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. In practice, sure, things are different.

America is one of the few countries where equal rights and opportunity is a fundamental belief. MAGA could just as easily go to another country if they don’t like that.
