could he do an executive order? are his hands fully tied?
when democrats fail they blame republicans but when the republicans fail they blame the democrats
not surprising a Catholic not only let this happen on their watch but also has not done anything except to try raise funds over abortion rights for his reelection
They didn’t “do nothing”. They passed a lot of major legislation, including the ACA. The supermajority lasted for 72 days. How much competent legislation do you expect to be passed in 72 days?
Legislation to codify Roe has been drafted and ready to go for decades. This could have been over and done with in a day.
Dems rolled the dice on not doing it, because they wanted to use it to fear monger and continue to fundraise. Well, now this has completely backfired and women have lost their right to bodily autonomy as a result.
So yeah, they intentionally fucked around by doing nothing, and now they’re finding out about consequences for their inaction. If you’re mad about it, demand better representation instead of providing cover for shitlibs.
Right, so you wanted them to use a valuable chunk of time codifying a right that was not being actively threatened at that time, instead of focusing on the more immediate needs of their constituents? They would have been lambasted for playing politics instead of doing their jobs. Hell, if Ginsberg would have stepped down, we’d still have enshrined repro rights. If the Justice/McConnell situation played out different, we’d still have enshrined repro rights. Hindsight is 20/20, but nobody was focusing on abortion the way they are now, and there were multiple points of failure to get us to the point of it being threatened.
Frankly, it’s clear to me that you have very little idea of how the civic process works. I know this won’t get through, but I’ll stress it anyway: making these big forceful statements while not understanding the process and context of what you’re complaining about makes you contribute to the mental degeneration that is eroding our politics. You should feel ashamed, honestly. You’re not approaching conversations with any amount of self-critique or awareness, and it really shows.
You’re right. I’m not immune to getting frustrated, and I did get carried away there. My central points still stand, but I’ll try to keep my head on straight. Thanks for the reminder.
