I'll argue democract are ineffective to a fault, even ineffective in a weaponizable way to punish their consitutients for straying from the center. Again, the bar is in hell. But they did not repeal abortion rights directly and never would have.

    No, they simply refused to do anything to stop the repeal, of course.

    Why are you saying this like it conflicts with anything I've said?

    I'm not. I'm saying the difference is meaningless in results though.

    It's not though. The Democrats are feckless. You'll see them in the dictionary when looking up weaponized incompetence (OK that has a vaguely different meaning but you know what I mean). But if the right had never gained power, the momentum to lose these rights never would have begun.

    Doing something =/= letting something happen
