“We recognize that, in the next four years, our decision may cause us to have an even more difficult time. But we believe that this will give us a chance to recalibrate, and the Democrats will have to consider whether they want our votes or not.”

That’s gotta be one of the strangest reasonings I’ve heard in a while.

    Then we don’t fucking deserve it or it will be time to refresh the tree of liberty. When disenfranchised people tell you that they don’t see a difference, ask why. These folk have lost family members and are telling you that, from their perspective the only difference between having a R and a D in the White House is whether you show up to protest too.

      “Refresh the Tree of Liberty”… that’s some bullshit, Trump gets into office and he’ll chop that tree down himself. Then deport all the Muslims he can. Voting R is the literal version of “chop your nose off to spite your face”.

      If they can’t see a difference between having legal abortions and not, they’re fucking idiots.

              Na mine is “those idiots think getting the party furthest from their supposed ideal elected will be good for them”.

                  I didn’t. I was sarcastically pointing out that we have a 0% chance of that happening under republicans.

                  Meanwhile if we had elected Clinton we would be looking at a very different SCOTUS and still have Roe standing.

                  I naively thought that out little Trump boondoggle would remind people of what can happen when they forget what kind of system we all function under but here we are, again, saying “you really don’t want to do that”.

                  Guess we need another round to make things even worse?

                    I didn’t.

                    Bullshit.

                    Meanwhile if we had elected Clinton we would be looking at a very different SCOTUS and still have Roe standing.

                    If Clinton had run as though she needed votes in states she ignored, she might have won.

                    But trying to get votes is beneath Democrats.

        If you can’t see the difference between not being able to get an abortion and your mother being dead, then I pity you and your lack of empathy.

        If the overturn of Roe has turned you into a one issue voter, then I will pair you off with a 2nd amendment one issue voter and you can angrily jerk each other off.

          Na I just picked an issue that any fucking moron would be able to tell the parties apart on.

          Hey maybe Trump will be better on Muslim relations though.

        Ah yes, Muslims are famously all pro-choice.

          TIL discerning between two things is tantamount to support for one of them.

      If you look at Democrats and Republicans and see no difference, you may want to ask yourself why a Trump presidency would be the same for you as a Biden presidency. There aren’t a whole lot of non white working class Americans who can say that.
