This is happening under the Biden-Harris regime, right now.
I legit thought they were joking lmao.
This is what I'm trying to tell Our Revolution texters. It's happening now and you're all at Brunch because you want to make it a fucking campaign issue. You have power NOW.
Why didn’t the dems pass abortion rights into law when they had a veto-proof majority under Obama?
they had the foresight to determine fundraising futures. something you terminally online anti capitalists can never understand
Imagine saying out loud the dems care more about money than about doing anything to help people, in support of the dems
How is the cycle of endlessly pursuing money and power for its own sake working out? Oh they’re now running their most right wing campaign in decades? Very cool.
Money makes the world go around. Do you know what would happen if the world stopped turning? In this 15 minute Bill and Melinda Gates funded video essay I will...
That Supreme Court also decided the president can MOAB them and be immune but it’s important to have an entire lame duck party.
We need Obama to come back and do one last , as a treat
The ending of Dr. Strangelove, but it's Obama
Abortion rights were lost while Democrats controlled the White House and both chambers of congress. What does that tell you about the Democrats?
Dems had many opportunities to oppose an abortion ban. Before RvW was overturned and after.
Which happened because the genius Pied Piper Strategy Democrats colluded the media to prop up Trump to make him viable z oh and running a deeply unpopular warmonger as a candidate. Now they use him as a shield to do genocide and shame people into supporting a deeply unpopular warmonger, look the other way to women's and LGBTQ rights as they suffer because the issues just aren't a priority.
How the Hillary Clinton campaign deliberately "elevated" Donald Trump with its "pied piper" strategy
Typical Trump taking credit for something he didn’t actually do, smdh
put more seats in the supreme court
The post is deleted so I assume it's some lib shit about voting bloo no matter who.
Are you doing anything besides voting?
It said "This is Trumps America".
Liberals don't understand that it's always been like this since the first settlers stepped off the boat
It took the conservative movement 50 years to repeal Roe v Wade. The day it was decided conservative forces were already working proactively to overturn this decision. For 50 years RBG criticized the case, stating its reasoning was weak and could be subject to legal attack.
For 50 years Democrats have run on codifying Roe v Wade only to abandon the task after getting elected.
In his first run for election, Bill Clinton told women voters he would support strengthening Roe. Even though his record on the matter was less then good [NYT July 20, 1992]:
Under his terms as present zero movement was made on codifying Roe as a right.
Obama also told women, specifically at speaking engagements for Planned Parenthood, that one of his top priorities was to codify Roe day one.
Here is his legacy on the matter [Politifact, June 1, 2012]:
Keep in mind, there were not enough pro-choice votes while Obama enjoyed a filibuster proof super majority. This means that not every democrat was pro choice, and they could not secure 100% buy in from the party.
Joe Biden ran on codifying Roe v Wade in 2020, but those efforts have stalled due to poor house and senate numbers [Politifact, March 7, 2004].
As his campaign ramped up in 2024 before he was outted as the presidential candidate, he again took up the mantal as a champion for Roe. His position is interesting, considering his personal stance on abortion. [ABC News, 2024]
[Washingtonian, 1974]
But now that he is out of the race, abortion is again back on the menu. One could wonder as well, what the state of things might look like if RBG took all the criticisms she had about the Roe decision to heart and retired under the Obama administration, allowing for a liberal president to add another liberal justice to the courts. However, its clear she was a prideful and arrogant justice, maybe the clout that came with Roe went to her head:
[NYT, 2020]
"No one as liberal as she was could get confirmed, she suggested", really encapsulates just how arrogant she was. The very notion that somehow, the little girls inspired by her legacy, and now primed to take her place, would be less progressive then her rings as absurd. Only a over inflated sense of self could lead one to believe that.
It's not often you watch someone push themselves off the glass cliff. Because of her thick headedness we will never know if the repeal of Roe could have been stalled.
Democrats are the "Big Tent" party, and that includes homophobes and misogynists, and means even with a majority, you will not see Roe be put into law.
Facts are illegal to liberals, you've got to remember that they live in their own post truth world
throw buckets of blood on democrats to symbolize the people they've allowed to be murdered so they could could win politically.
I know, right? that's why we have to elect Biden this November to get Trump out of office!
joe biden is the only person on the planet earth capable of defeating trump in a fair electoral and pushup contest. it was true in 2016, it was true in 2020, and it's just as true today!
the situation isn't funny, but that got me
Wait it wasn't a joke?
