But if you vote for Democrats this election they TOTALLY will Protect Abortion!
just look at how the last 51 years turned out voting for either of these two corporate bought parties
Yep, the party actively destroying reproductive rights is indistinguishable from the party doing a suboptimal job of protecting them from the first party. This is clearly communicated by your clever, astute word replacement.
You're talking to someone who immediately switched from "don't vote for Biden" to "don't vote for Harris" the second they heard that Biden might let Harris run in his place. So yes, you're exactly right with that flowchart.
Then that person is a troll and needs to be banned.
never switched
his pick for a vp never sat well with me
You absolutely switched because that option hadn't been a possibility before.
And if it's someone else, you'll start saying why they shouldn't be voted for.
Anything but stop the dictator.
The only way that makes since is if you think AOC, Joe Manchin, Joe Biden, and every other politician that caucuses with the Dem party are on the same page and working for the same shit...
Not at all, the lack of party unity is one of the reasons they have done a suboptimal job with this and other things. Nonetheless, the flowchart is true, and you can see it over and over when any major thing happens. 100% of the time? No. Is it very often relevant to folks removed about Dems? Yes, IMO it is. But with absolute sincerity, you are welcome to disagree.
had half a century to codify Roe v. Wade and on that note Biden was not helpful in keeping Clarence Thomas out of the Supreme Court
Biden's political career consisted of crime bills, protecting heterosexual marriage, and being a war supporter
he only changed step in the last decade or so just to be more voteable and with Harris as a VP does not show much change
I'm sorry for the multiple replies - I just keep remembering one more thing.
In this case I'm going to steal these comments from one I had saved a month ago, penned by @MegaUltraChicken@lemmy.world :
and
And that control under Obama included senator Joe Donnelly, who was anti-abortion (the only way he could get elected in Indiana).
By the way, your first sentence is here:
You know that almost no one actually likes Biden as a choice right? And I absolutely don't like Harris - I think she'll pull us further to the right than Biden would. He's just a better choice than the Evil Incarnate party. (and so is she) So when you folks come along to smear him like this, it falls a little flat.
"Not helpful" is cutting him a lot of slack...
He was the chair for the Anita Hill hearings and refused to let other victims testify in addition to a whole bunch of other shit
When Biden talks about "good ole days" of being friends with Republicans, he's talking about how much they liked him when he was helping get Clarence on the court for life.
My dude, I'm sitting here in Kansas, and I've watched our Democrat governor save our asses over and over from all kinds of insane bullshit that comes out of our Republican legislature. Certainly, the Dems could do more, but to say they're exactly the same on the abortion issue, or on many other issues, is to deny reality.
Correct! Look at all those BLUE STATES outlawing Women's Healthcare!
So you suggest allowing the orange turd in instead? That will SURELY protect abortion.
I swear. Around a year before every major election period the idiots spend a few months relearning how to spell check and type. We then get the same poorly considered, and poorly worded, series of blatantly Republican drivel that attempts, and fails, to explain why they're the better side.
Your side is evil. It wasn't always, it is now. One side attempts to do good, the other tries like hell to destroy good things. One is walking a marathon, the other is driving in the wrong direction in a suped up and raised truck billowing black smoke while flying a confederate and maga flag, adding up points as they run over people, with the radio turned up to America, Fuck Yeah by the D.V.D.A., with a picture of their sister in a bikini taped to the dashboard.
Russian troll. Go plant sunflowers!
