Don’t be fooled by this decision. Christofascists in SCOTUS are waiting for repubes to pass legislation that will ban these meds after which the same SCOTUS will rubber stamp the law.
Vote because your democracy depends on it
They. Cannot. Do. This. Legislators cannot just wake up really motivated one day and enshrine reproductive rights. They need numbers, and we have to give it to them for that to happen. There’s no alternative, no magical ideal route just waiting for the perfect congress person. Republicans will pull out all the stops on this, so you need a filibuster-proof majority. Give the Dems that and you’ll get reproductive rights.
4 months (with a flimsy proper majority due to Lieberman) gave us the ACA, one of the most impactful pieces of legislation regarding healthcare the country has ever seen. We need to vote in large numbers to achieve our political ends.
The Republicans seem to be really good at passing bullshit laws, the dems just don’t seem to be able to get it together. And yea they have had a few sessions where they were filibuster proof majority…
They tried with soldify access to contraceptives but the GQP shot it down
They should keep trying for abortion access and contraceptives but with the current Congress it’s going to be an uphill battle to say the least
Literally what they’re paid to do. I’m so tired of them getting a pass because the GOP will cause problems…they seem to constantly let the gop pass shit laws.
No they don’t.
Sure they do. But they don’t right now.
They’re not Trump. That’s the vote. You can be a single-issue voter if you like, because we all are. Our single-voter issue is preserving the ability to vote other issues later.
RvW is important; my god, is it important. School-kid safety is important. Gun safety is important. Healthcare is important.
Democracy is crucial. It keeps those other things possible. We lose that and every.other.important.matter is dead. It’s cutting off the nose to spite the face. It’s fiddling while Rome burns. It’s deck chairs on the Titanic. It’s a lively sports discussion while you’re landing the Hindenburg.
You want RvW? Vote Biden for a chance or it’s not happening ever. I want strong gun safety regs and healthcare. Biden for a glimmer of hope or nothing at all.
The pattern is real. Every single-issue voter needs to protect their issue by voting not-Trump, and we argue our real issues once we can safely do so.
At the risk of sounding like I’m disagreeing, I mean, technically those things remain possible, it’s just that acquiring them requires a great deal of organized violence that we aren’t prepared to inflict.
Also, accelerationism is bad and it literally never works out well for us. Pinch your nose and vote for Biden in '24.
