Labour did the exact same thing in the UK and people can't stop sucking corbyn's dick. Granted he is cool as hell and the Democrats suck but still.
Labour went into an election deliberately timed and designed by the ruling party to wipe them out in England, ended up with more seats than they started, and shredded the PM's mandate.

Democrats can't win where they're spending over $150 a voter. Good one.

Trump literally told them this

I hope after all this, he vetoes it the day before the recess, and Congress implodes with rage and confusion...but he won't. He gonna sign that sucker so he can have a "win", which makes no sense imo but that's TRUMP!!!

no trump said if they didn't pass ahca they were all hosed because they would be going against donald j trump, most popular president ever

theres a quote by jacob riis which owns: "When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it.

~nothing matters~ is a mantra not to say that things have never mattered, or that things will never matter again. it is instead a way of looking at the world and accepting that the good and dignity you put into it might be taken by it with no apparent effect. it is to accept that your individual snowflake being added to the mountainside has an almost impossibly small chance of being the one that causes the avalanche, that you might not even be alive to see the change, while still understanding that not only is your contribution important and worth doing, but essential

change comes to the world in aggregate, in tidal shifts, that you have no control over. all you can do is help others in the small ways you can, and be as good a person as you can be, and discard that nagging voice in your head that says you are eternal and you will always be rewarded per some running karmic tab. because when change does come, it's those millions of little things you did, the smiles, the risks, the laughter, the rejection of stupid social mores, the adherence to your own truths, the love that you exude, all those things that will define how the world changes and in what shapes and forms the world will take

This is what I don't get about the illegal immigrant argument. Do Republicans just not realize that while those immigrants don't pay income tax, they still pump a shitload of money into the economy and the government through regular sales taxes.

they also pay income tax and payroll taxes if they're working on fake SSN's
