The Biden administration is proposing a massive aid package as it has struggled to … Continue reading "White House Seeks $105 Billion To Arm Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan"
If they agreed on all legislation, then they would be the same. You are correct and I agree.
But the poster is using agreement on one piece of legislation as evidence they are the same. Surely you are intelligent enough to see the fault in this logic.
Your wording had it like qualifying as being the same has nothing to do with agreeing on legislation. This is one piece of legislation, but so is every piece of legislation we discuss one at a time. Its still a piece of supporting evidence.
Because it’s so easily shown to be drastically incomplete.
It’s like we have two polygons. You say “We have good evidence that they are the same shape because they are both polygons!” Well, sure, that’s one tiny piece of the question. But we have to ask how many sides they have, what the angles are between the sides, how long the sides are in length, etc… It’s terrible to claim you have good evidence they are the same because they are both polygons.
No one here is claiming they don’t have anything in common. Having another thing in common would not change anything. But I’m definitely interested in seeing what happens. Although I suspect if it passes, it will pass with bipartisan support, with people from both sides also voting against it.
if agreeing on legislation doesnt make them the same, what does?

Not my intent, but happy to clear it up.
I stand corrected. It’s just terrible evidence that doesn’t even remotely come close to proving the point.
What makes it bad evidence??

again, we’re only talking about one piece of legislation to begin with. Come back by when something like votes are cast for congress owning stock.
