I hope we can give women their bodily autonomy back soon.
Unlikely. Your political system is broken. One side wants to take it away and the other keeps saying they will prevent it, but when they get in power they do absolutely nothing.
EDIT: Just to clarify. I’m not on Republicans side, but I’m also willing to callout Democrats for their failures. I just hate money in politics and 95% of politicians are on corporate side not idealogical one.
Critics responded to Obama’s tweets by arguing he had had the ability to codify Roe into federal law during his time as president but failed to do so despite Democrats controlling the White House, the Senate and the House of Representatives from 2009 to 2011.

I mean they had both houses of congress and the presidency in 2009. They could have codified Roe v Wade. Obama even told Planned Parenthood it would be the first thing he’d want to do in office when he was running. Then once he was in office it changed to “not my highest legislative priority.”
I get there were political reasons for it and he was trying to pass Obama Care but it still sucks.
People like Sinema and Manchin are a feature of Dem politics, not a bug. They are there to slow everything down and take the heat of unpopularity so that the party can drag its feet on all of their promises.
Biden’s cabinet split the huge infrastructure bill, ensuring that the parts they wanted would pass and the stuff they promised and didn’t care about would tank.
I heard someone say that the means testing of student debt relief gave the GOP extra time to sink it in some way.
The basic playbook is: vote for us or some crazy fucks will be the alternative; we talk a great game, but republicans always find a way to sabotage us when we get there.
Wtf do you think they could have done? Plenty of states have had voter initiatives and legislation protecting abortion rights.
I really get sick of the “both sides” garbage.
At this point the both sides people are actively supporting the GOP. All they do is try and stop progress while simultaneously complaining that the Democrats don’t get anything done. They care more about being an enlightened centrist than they do helping people and it shows.

I’m worried you’re right, but I’m still hopeful. My daughter deserves a better country.
They need more than 49.5 votes with some of them coming from Georgia and West Virginia in order to do much.
It’s easier to stop things in government than to pass them. Why do the Republicans get so much credit for just stopping things, but the Dems get none?
Even when they have full power the Democrats always have someone that will play the bad guy and vote with the Republicans.
To me Republicans always stick together Democrats can’t get their people to do the same.

wait, what the fuck did I just read?
this case is way more traumatic and disturbed than a breach of user data from a company that will gladly sell its users to the highest bidder, which is honestly unsurprising at this point.
but the living hell that family is experiencing… and being punished for? they need to get these people some healthcare, not incarceration. damn.
Your response is problematic because you wrote it with a healthy state of mind. And that will soon be punishable @KreekyBonez@lemm.ee
This is the kind of thing riots should come from.
I keep asking myself at what point we’ll rise up. Sadly, my conclusion is that it’s not until it’s too late.
Police raided the family’s home and…
Sweet fucking Jesus…
this is just fucked up.
