    It’s a dumb take to state the truth? That’s interesting.

    Dems don’t give a fuck, if they did they would’ve codified roe most recently when Obama had both houses of congress.

    There’s no alternative, the DNC forces shit candidates down your throat who do shit like what’s mentioned above. The republicans force candidates who exploit the dnc’s lack of fucks they give about you.

    What’s your solution? what I already said? Keep voting dems and still not get abortion codified?

      To be clear, Obama had both houses of Congress for 72 days and they passed Affordable Care Act and Patient Protection Plan. That’s not nothing.

        And how does that make it okay that they failed to codify Roe?

        Not to mention the fact that the ACA drafting came from Mitt Romney and failed to provide a proper safety net. We can see that in the fact that the ACA , and especially the individual mandate, have been gutted.

      They want you to be apathetic which lowers voter turnout on the left. Keep voting. Not just for the president either.

          I mean if they’d been voted in there wouldn’t be a republican majority supreme court and roe wouldn’t have been overturned in the first place.

          To what end???

          To make a better world, dipshit

          Ever see a Democratic stronghold state? Guess what they all have codified into law?

          All this “democrats wouldn’t give it to us even if they could” is particularly stupid because it is demonstrably false. Plenty of Democrat led states already have abortion rights. And living wage laws. And consumer protection. And stronger health care support. And free community college. And and and

            What you think is a better world, maybe. Democrats don’t do nearly enough to provide progress at the rate we deserve, they throw scraps to make it lesser of two evils. If you want incremental change, and usually 1 step forward and 2 steps back, then keep doing what you’re doing, dipshit
