Democrats destroyed roe with 50 years of promise, and doing nothing but raise money from it.
I think a large part of us assumed that people in power wouldn't cross red lines that had existed for decades.
Which was a terrible assumption for democrats to make. Especially when they controlled the house, senate, and presidency in the Obama era.
That being said, let's call a spade a spade here. Democrats have been fighting to return Roe v Wade in many states. And Republicans have been standing against it, to the point of fighting their voters on laws they voted for.
You mean, for the two whole weeks that they had the supermajority they needed to bypass Republican obstruction?
This long-debunked talking point really needs to die once and for all.
And when they had senators in their party like Joe Donnelly, who was anti-abortion.
And as recently as 2022, party leadership was propping up anti-choice candidates.
The Freedom of Choice Act was already written and ready to go to vote BEFORE Obama was sworn in. Pelosi referred it to committee where it was sent to die.
Democrats CHOSE to let it die while they had that super majority.
Pelosi was dealing with the Blue Dogs, conservatives who were elected as Democrats. We didn't have a progressive majority, we had a Democratic majority. And we still managed to get a record amount of progressive legislation through the House, where it went to die in the Senate thanks to the precedent-breaking tactic of filibustering everything Democrats tried to pass.
Two weeks during a holiday break was not enough to accomplish every single policy goal you expect. Pay attention and stop blaming Democrats for having to deal with complications instead of assuming they wielded total and unrestricted power. Because they never did, and probably never will.
The new Macedonian troll farm talking point. Democrats scuttled Roe.
You can always tell who is politically ignorant (or weren't born yet) when they trot out that Democratic Trifecta bullshit.
When Obama had "Total Control" of Congress.
I love how perfect lockstep is always expected from voters, but never those they elect.
No need to reelect them then if they are powerless.
We need federal laws protecting abortion access. Roe v Wade was inconsistent with any other bodily autonomy law and always needed to be backed up with concrete laws.
Joe finally got his lifelong desire about Roe being a states rights issue.
This is the trolliest thing I've ever read.
Read this clown’s comment history. Dude is purposefully going out of his way to be on the wrong side of every argument he’s been in.
Pretty sure he's Russian, working for the Internet Research Agency.
And that's why things are shit. Liberals can't see their team is in on the joke.
Meanwhile, the fact that your team is busy trying to prop up a clown that thinks sending death threats to a judge in charge of a case that will determine wether or not he’s a complete fraud- doesn’t register even in the slightest with any of you imbeciles that you’ve all drank some pretty shit kool-aid.
Your ignorance assumes my critique of Genocide Joe makes me a republican?
No, your hilariously uninformed and astoundingly biased comment history does.
"Uninformed" to shitlibs means I wont contribute to your neolib echo chamber.
My for you’re an embarrassing specimen. Please…. Continue.
That's cool, comrade. You keep on with your misinformation.
