like i get it, the propaganda machine is strong, but after the draft for roe v wade being overturned i just don’t see what would compel someone to support the democrats and keep voting blue. they’ve had decades upon decades to codify it (they could’ve recently, they control everything right now and they also had a supermajority when obama was first elected) like they’ve done very, very little to show they actually care about women’s rights (and everyone’s really) it’s insane. even now, biden could pack the courts or biden could end the filibuster so they could codify it now and do some jurisdiction stripping so the supreme court can’t rule it unconstitutional. and idk how the fact they aren’t isn’t disillusioning for the average democrat voter, it seems the message they’re taking away is that this is trump’s fault for appointing that one judge and they need to :vote: harder.

it’s mind boggling but it’s also just so incredibly sad, idk what it will take to show them that these people don’t care about them

    They will need to make a good faith effort to do something about abortion or their political rivals will brand them as ineffective. Biden will do something at the last minute, like holding infrastructure spending hostage if states ban abortion.

      i could see that happening, my question is do you think the republican law makers in those states would care about infrastructure spending though? idk much about the infrastructure bill that’s being proposed but it just seems like the average republican politician is against any government spending that isn’t for the military. i feel like the average republican voter in the state would give a shit though and it would cause them to hate biden even more and become emboldened in their support for the gop

        Can't wait to see one of these ghouls loudly proclaiming that they've saved this state's babies while a hospital maternity ward collapses behind them

        The 1984 National Minimum Drinking Age Act prevents states from selling alcohol to persons under 21 or the federal government will withhold highway funds.

        there's got to be at least a few republican governors who would seriously consider giving up federal highway funding in exchange for banning abortion
