Biden campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez said the Alabama Supreme Court’s ruling on in vitro fertilization "is only possible because Donald Trump’s Supreme Court justices overturned Roe v. Wade."
I’m not so much arguing that you should feel ashamed for thinking women’s rights aren’t under attack, as much as your lack of knowledge on the political process. I think that misinterpretation is another example of your inability to actually understand and converse on these topics. That aside, I’m also not arguing that women’s rights aren’t under attack. Of course they are, and likely will be for all time. That’s much different than saying that reproductive rights were not under immediate threat in the supermajority timeframe and there were higher priorities given that lower level of risk. That’s a nuanced statement. Congress had 72 days of a democratic supermajority, a very small period of time for legislative action, and there were multiple ideological factions within the party that prevented the progressive dream plan. That’s also a nuanced, factual statement.
You can want, want, want all you like. Put up or shut up. Dems gave my partner healthcare, gave us the right to marry, gave me the ability to vote by mail. Democrats on the court gave me reproductive rights for decades before Republicans stripped it away. Real, tangible wins for me, my family, my neighbors. The left, for all its ideals that I very much do share, has given me nothing but the vestiges of what they accomplished a century ago and a metric ton of words and ideas. Here you sit, complaining about Dems not doing enough when you haven’t gotten a single gd thing done. And can’t even be intellectually honest at that. Democrats might fail a lot, but they win a lot too. List your wins.
