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

      The time to pack the courts was January 2021. This decision is about as good as done and there won't be another chance to review it for perhaps 5-10 years. The only hope for America is that a justice or two kills over before the decision is officially published and thus the vote goes down 4-4 or is 4-3 against with a new majority opinion. Feckless democrats will tell you to :vote: but historically they should expect to lose seats in the midterms. If democrats somehow keep all their seats then expect them to learn all the wrong lessons from this fiasco and to gamble away more of our rights and freedoms for the sake of winning elections in "the most important election of our lifetime".

      Oh shit, that is what they said last time. Oh fuck, that bs argument won them the 2020 election. Well anyway, expect conditions to decline even faster as dems put a second mortgage on your rights to bet it all at the electoral casino.
