    They want you to be apathetic which lowers voter turnout on the left. Keep voting. Not just for the president either.

        I mean if they’d been voted in there wouldn’t be a republican majority supreme court and roe wouldn’t have been overturned in the first place.

            And if republicans didn’t take away your rights it wouldn’t matter, stop trying to blame the wrong people.

        To what end???

        To make a better world, dipshit

        Ever see a Democratic stronghold state? Guess what they all have codified into law?

        All this “democrats wouldn’t give it to us even if they could” is particularly stupid because it is demonstrably false. Plenty of Democrat led states already have abortion rights.

          What you think is a better world, maybe. Democrats don’t do nearly enough to provide progress at the rate we deserve, they throw scraps to make it lesser of two evils. If you want incremental change, and usually 1 step forward and 2 steps back, then keep doing what you’re doing, dipshit
