    I would argue that 99% of voters are voting for it.

    A good example is Democrats’ response to Roe vs Wade repeal. That is to say, except for fundraising, there wasn’t one. They raked in a cool $80 million though: https://apnews.com/article/abortion-us-supreme-court-elections-campaigns-8a6e3db27082cc212e9e5183b25e7c32.

    When one side actively perpetrates fascism and the other side does nothing to stop it, the difference in rhetoric means absolutely nothing to me.

      That’s oversimplification. Just because you vote Democrat doesn’t mean you support all of the policies. There are many practical reasons that come into play.

      And your response to Roe is inaccurate. There has been a tremendous amount of pressure in the aftermath of Roe v. Wade. I suppose that many Republicans who lose will do so largely because of Roe. I recall the Dems floating a plan to revise how SCOTUS is staffed, too. It probably won’t pass, but it’s exactly the kind of thing you are overlooking.

      Most Americans support ranker choice voting, universal healthcare, paid maternity leave, freedom of choice, etc.

      The people aren’t the problem, the system is. Our corrupt 2 party system is destroying the US. The only way to save this country is to replace it with a modern multi-party proportional representation system like the system we helped the Germans create after ww2.

        So did Joe Biden.

        The problem is he did nothing meaningful to restore it. My point is simple: It doesn’t matter what you say if you’re not going to use the power you have in order to make the change.

          It essentially wasn’t overturned until he lost the House of Reps. They need House majority, senate majority, presidency, and get rid of the filibuster (which wasn’t going to happen with Manchin). All 4 to pass that legislation. It’s going to be tough to get them all.

          But you don’t care about any of that. Your point misinformation is simple: B b b b b but Dems bad!1!!

            The ACA and the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act were both passed with a simple majority.

            Put simply, you are incorrect. Hard things are possible if a president is willing to work for the; Sadly, Biden was not.

              Other things took simple majority, therefore this would take a simple majority too? Outstanding logic. By that logic no one has every filibustered anything, right? If Dobbs was something the GOP wanted, they would have filibustered it.

              lol so thanks for exposing your goal of misinformation. I see no point in continuing to rebut your mental gymnastics, so ciao.

              *ACA was passed 60-39, supermajority.

                Unlike you, I won’t accept that it’s okay to do nothing because something is challenging.

                  Who said I accept nothing? Simply because I lay out what needs to happen, while you live in la la land of “president just needs to want it”. Why am I bothering with your nonsense replies, you need to do some reading. Ciao.
