" they were not fooled by the vote for it on cloture and vote against it on final passage."

I love how they're openly admitting this is a trick now, when so many Blue MAGA people fell all over themselves to justify it when they've done it in the past.

Obviously truth is absolute. The question is whether morality is absolute or relative.

That's the saddest thing about people born after the 90s. We expected the future to get better. Kids now are just hoping we don't destroy everything.

If you enjoy dehumanizing people, you're not a leftist.

I'm sick of people who think the DNC primary is a fair contest despite multiple courts saying it's a private party who can make up rules however it wants.

One might note that nobody suggested running Bernie today. If you expect people to forget that the conservative wing of the Dems is responsible for the rise of Trump in several important ways, that isn't going to happen.

Calling people "NPCs" is always fascist.

Lol, "your inkling" aside, the fact is that there is no actual egg shortage. Your theory requires that eggs somehow became twice as expensive to produce in the US this past year. However, the price of eggs paid to producers has not gone up.

Sure, "corporate greed" is my assumption, but only because it's behind nearly every problem facing this country.

How is giving him congressional approval going to help? The Doomers keep obeying in advance. Try fighting for something.

The alternative isn't "keeping the government operating". Its letting the Republicans know that they can shutdown anything they want while the Democrats do nothing.

"Needing 8 Democrats to pass the budget" is what you call "a position of power". Democrats piss every bit of power away for nothing, then we're still swamped with idiots online going "what do you expect them to do?"

When Republicans need Democratic votes to pass something, that means Democrats should get something in return. When Dems are in power, they water down legislation and say they need to do that to court Republicans who still don't vote for the bill. When Dems are in the minority, they vote with Republicans and complain about not being able to do anything.

One of Bernie's biggest flaws is that he's working with the Democrats.

This is a big world, people's customs vary, and I'm not one who expects everyone to follow my moral judgements, but "COUSINS ARRESTED AFTER REFUSING TO STOP HAVING SEX DURING FUNERAL CEREMONY" doesn't throw up any red flags for you?

Not trying to dunk, more wondering whether I'm missing dry humor or a language barrier.
