Because I'm tired of hearing that damn liberal viewpoint every single time

For starters, on the overturning of Roe v. Wade, could you give any evidence that it was preventable but the Democrats did nothing, if not welcomed it?

Such as the majority-democrat political demographic of the Senate that oversaw that decision?

    I mean the Roe v. Wade thing is easy - Democrats had a simple majority in Congress, which wasn't enough to vote past a filibuster. A filibuster is not legal, it's procedural - it's a result of Senate rules, not any laws. It only takes a simple majority to change the rules, meaning that if Democrats had wanted to get rid of the filibuster to do things like codify Roe v. Wade, they could've. But instead they chose not to. And when they say "but that was because of MANCHIN and SINEMA" you say "Right, and what party were they a part of?"

      the filibuster is a red herring. they had a filibuster-proof trifecta in 2009 and didn't do it then because they don't want to do it

      The Democratic party isn't monolithic. Unlike the Republicants they are free thinkers, a Big Tent party and i just threw up in my mouth i can't keep going
