    Unfortunately, I probably have a better chance of winning the lottery 15 times in a row than this bill passing

      That’s no reason not to ask

      Giving up only means that it will never happen. Having the balls to demand, it means it will at least remain a thorn in the Nazis side.

      And if you ever propose the argument, other than “fuck the Nazis“, then I can’t see why anyone should ever back you

        I feel that logic is flawed. Instead of proposing or asking for something that has an ice cube’s chance in hell, it would make a lot more sense to make small changes that have a higher chance of being implemented to the point where the final product is a positive.

        Boiling frog fable. If you put a frog in a pot and crank the heat all the way up, that frog will likely jump out. If you slowly raise the temperature, the frog is less likely to perceive it right away.

        Except the nazis who matter don’t give a shit. You think musk is going to give this a second thought? All this amounts to is a distraction. The problem with bills like this is they take away resources from something that can do some actual good.
