I mean he said the the Epstein files didn’t exist. Then a whole bunch of emails from the files were leaked. So… It’s no suprise.

There are many ways including supporting unions, raising minimum wage, or less taxes for lower income households.

Republicans could just raise wages, too, you know.

It doesn’t actually exist in real life. It’s AI.

“We tried nothing and it isn’t working.” - Republicans

I feel like this should just be a fine. Seems like a waste of resources.

It’s possible sure, but the leverage part makes less sense to me, like lets screw over mostly Republican districts as a threat to coerce Democrats to vote for the bill. It’s like cutting off your nose to spite your face.

Republicans have a lot more to lose with SNAP funding being cut than Democrats.

I think a simpler explanation is what you said. Republicans don’t want to spend money on poorer people.

More proof that shutting down the government was the Republican’s intention all along.

This is kind of the reason why I don’t want Trump to be assassinated, too. If we don’t learn from our mistakes, we are doomed to repeat them.

Sometimes the best candidate is a woman and nothing can be done about that. I feel like trying to “game the system” is what has caused so much problems with democrats, historically.

This is just outrageous. I’ll have you know there are many single-mothers who depend on snap day-to-day. You can’t honestly expect them to just switch distros.

Totally agree. As a comparsion, I would say he’s close in popularity to Hasan Piker on the left who has 3 million followers.

Imagine caring so much about a podbro.

Interestingly enough, their polling has been accurate. Credibility in other areas… not so much.

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 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.

It’s not like Democrats have anything to lose here, if the government stays closed. Republicans hold the swing state seats.
