“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.

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

      Yes, Roe still exists and we need to preserve it by… making excuses for not codifying it.

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

              Then don’t accuse me of being a Republican for pointing out that Democrats did fuck all to preserve Roe.

                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.

                    lol the fuck? It’s literally a facetious statement “maybe republicans will do it” while knowing full well that would never happen.

                    Nothing in that comment even slightly suggests I’m calling you a Republican.

                    How does one “ignore” a state?

                    That’s it, if Biden doesn’t come knocking on my door I’m not voting for him. Otherwise, how could I ask him questions and gather information on his policy positions? [this is another sarcastic paragraph meant to point out the fact that people shouldn’t need a visit from a candidate to make a voting decision. TV and the internet exist.]

      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.
