Neither the Republicans nor Democrats are suggesting meaningful enough policy change to make the US a better country. The virtue signaling and microchanges that each of them make while in power have too little impact on real issues. I want to see someone campaign on cutting the military budget 90%, 10xing the education budget, or bringing in ranked voting.
I’ve only seen these suggestions come from third party candidates. So, might as well give these candidates a shot.
Goddamn, such an ignorant comment. You are 100% part of the problem.
A couple more of these comments and I’ll join the Democrats again. Keep it up!
The democrats had FIFTY YEARS to codify roe v Wade but cynically fundraised off it instead.
I fucking can’t with liberals. Useful fucking idiots.
And before you bleat to me about hating women I fucking am a woman and the democrats fucked us over so they could fucking fundraise off it fuck them!!!

There is literally no way to do that without a constitutional amendment, and we haven’t been able to get the constitution amended in, what?, over fifty years? And as court cases in states that have passed constitutional amendments has shown, even a constitutional amendment is not sufficient to prevent litigation to unwind the intent of the law. Literally any law that congress could possibly pass to make Roe v. Wade the law* could be overturned by SCOTUS, and Republicans have been working strategically for decades now to build courts that are favorable to overturning laws that they don’t like.
And, BTW, Roe v. Wade was not the law of the land; Planned Parenthood v. Casey, 505 U.S. 833 (1992) was the standard that allowed states to really harshly regulate abortions, particularly when you had courts that were only looking at very narrow issues directly in front of them, rather than intents and realistic outcomes. If PP v. Casey had never happened 30 years ago, then we never would have seen SCOTUS tossing the whole issue back to the states (temporarily, anyways, because I expect the current congress to attempt a nationwide ban).
Democrats really did fuck up by not codifying Roe, but Republicans are the ones who want to sentence you to death for getting an abortion. They are absolutely not the same lmfao

Ah yes. Another individual blaming the side that DIDN’T take rights away. Very good. Very good. I’m glad your focus is directed appropriately.

I’m going to drop a truth bomb on you. For the foreseeable future you’re getting Democrats or Republicans. And you’re over here complaining about the side NOT actively assaulting your rights. Bravo.
Global warming and proxy wars around the world will kill millions of people, so it’s less that I “don’t give a shit about you” and more “I see larger dangers on the horizon”

Ah yes, the GOP, the well-known champions of reducing emissions and proxy wars.

As someone who Obama got affordable healthcare for when I was younger it’s almost impossible for me to fathom that you unironically said this literal days after Democrats banned medical debt from showing up on credit reports. The irony is so thick I can’t see you.
So, might as well give these candidates a shot.
Yeah, let’s totally vote for a 3rd party candidate for president when their parties haven’t even come close to doing what they need to do in order to win local/state elections to become a nationwide coalition capable of winning a presidential election. That sounds reasonable. And in the meantime, we’ll just allow anti-democratic felon rapists to call the shots from the Oval Office. You’re onto something here.
A couple more of these comments and I’ll join the Democrats again.
Honestly, I don’t think you’re intelligent enough to make that kind of move. Nothing you’ve said thus far indicates such.
I’m thrilled you got affordable healthcare, but it’s not good enough. I want parties who push for free healthcare. Parties who push for dense apartments to solve the housing crisis so people don’t go homeless paying off their “affordable healthcare”.
Does me supporting Claudia de la Cruz mean Trump gets into office? Maybe in the short term, but I don’t care about “banning medical debt from showing up on credit reports” when the whole notion of “medical debt” is the actual problem.
But alas, it seems I’m not intelligent enough to see the big picture :(

It never is for complainers.
I want parties who push for free healthcare.
Then you’re onboard with reality, right? The reality that big things don’t happen magically and instantly. They take many small steps. Much more affordable healthcare was a step in that direction. You will absolutely not get “free” healthcare instantly. It will happen through numerous baby-step bills passed over a significant amount of time.

Yes.

Then you’re not very old. Because anyone who’s actually an adult knows that’s a huge fucking deal and not something we’ve seen ANY administration talk about in the past, much less do. One of those baby-steps I just mentioned.
I can always tell when I’m talking to someone young on these platforms because they always demand instant gratification because they haven’t learned that big things take baby-steps and a whole lot of patience. Too bad we just wiped out an untold number of baby-steps by giving total power to Republicans by doing stupid things like not voting or voting 3rd party in a presidential election.

The overturn of roe v wade is affecting millions of women alone. But thanks for showing you don’t give a shit about us.

Maybe you’re too old to realize these baby steps aren’t producing results and it’s time to bring out the real deal.
What the Dems compete in two terms the Republicans undo in one. You really think you’re doing anything except supporting the status quo?
