      That’s the thing.

      You used to be able to count on Democrats to fight for social issues, at least. The Dems we have now are only concerned with increasing their own wealth, and that was very well-evidenced by their response to the Roe vs Wade leaks. Do you recall their response? They used it to fundraise and did nothing else. ($80,000,000 was the cost of your rights to bodily autonomy, in case you’re curious.)

      And now 2/3 of the states will get away with criminalizing abortion within another year or two, tops.

      I remember when, in his first SOTU, Joe Biden mocked the Defund The Police movement, and called for increased police funding, even though the police are overtly fascist in most of the country and we all had just watched them proudly execute a man in the streets.

      Now he’s sending more bombs to Israel.

      If you’re telling yourself the Dems are the answer, I think you’re just asleep at the wheel here.
