The narrative played heavily into that imo, I won't change my mind on it either. I feel the same about Biden

Politico: Supreme Court has voted to overturn abortion rights, draft opinion shows
- Thread starter Smokeymicpot
- Start date
Technically, they already did this with Obama.
The thinking is that at least you get 4 years of an SC working with you instead of against you.
Lifetime appointments also need to go.
well as long as you wont change your mind on it i guess that means youre right
congrats abortion is now illegal in many states
I personally love the leak; we left decorum a long time a if it ever existed. As usual, America has to learn things the hard way: all these crucial years of doing things the 'honorable way' has led to a resurgent right and an America as a dying democracy.
You're shocked that a bunch of white conservatives voted to make life worse for minorities?
Congrtuatlions you have posted more about Dems then about the monsters attempting to take away women's rights.
I voted for Hillary. I just don't think she was the right candidate then or now. Feel the same about Biden, he is out of touch.
Bernie cannot be that stupid, he must be playing for his supporters. The way to fix this was electing Hillary.
I never understand how republicans can pass the shittiest things through and democrats just always sit on their hands. This is more from emotion talking but why cant they nuke the filibuster, pack the courts and force things through? Republicans always do it and democrats are just like doing nothing per usual.
The republicans sure as hell won't care what their candidate does or fucks up with, as long as is their candidate. And will go out to vote.
That's a better situation than now. Now despite presidential elections swinging its very likely I will never breath air with a liberal Supreme Court, from birth to death. At least stacking the court would do away with pretense and give some control for a few years. Blow it up. You know if liberals ever got the court the conservatives wouldn't wait an instant.
It wasn't just the electoral college, it was also the voter suppression across multiple states, and the Supreme Court gutting the Voting Rights act. But people just want to instantly jump to blaming the voters, despite the fact that the majority of voters did what they were supposed to, and usually do as Democrats often get more votes since they represent more people.
Until people drop that attitude, nothing is going to change. This thread is a great version of that. A rigged system robs the majority of the will? 'Oh my god, I can't believe all you people didn't do what you were supposed to do!?' Same old song and dance
I too wondered about the political timing of all of this, but then I realized...
A Black woman was just appointed to the Supreme Court and has yet to take her seat.
LEAVE IT TO ME TO POINT OUT THE RACISM.
Can't wait for all the limp dick electioneering from D's off the back of this. Gonna be a lot of "donate here!" and "Vote!" in the coming days.
*Congress tries to pass law codifying abortion*
Manchin: "I cannot in good conscious vote for legislation until after we hear the verdict of the Supreme Court and in which case I will respect their verdict"
Book it.
The democrats have no blame for this, this is solely on the hands on the GOP and folks who protest voted or abstained in 2016.
And if they can come after row, then oberfell and perhaps even loving can be in the crosshairs.

Did you vote in 2016 and 2020? The thing that actually truely matters?
No worries, I understand. We're all ticked off, and there's no shortage of frustration to go around.
Pretty appropriate for this opinion to be penned by a guy who was appointed by a president elected by a conservative Supreme Court.
WI can't do anything about it. It's literally impossible for democrats to take the legislature so that law ain't getting repealed whether Evers wins or not.
As opposed to what?
Got some breath for the Republicans who are responsible for this? Or are we supposed to join in on shitting on the only opposition?
As a country, it's not doomed.
As a democracy, it looks doomed to me.
Senate is rigged in favor of tiny rural republican states. because rural = low info voter. Whether it's America, France, UK, Turkey, India or Brazil. Rural voters tend to vote for the wrong party more often than not. They are more easily deceived by assholes. Always have been. In the USA, many also carry a chip on their shoulder about city elites or whatever which leads them to do deplorable things like voting for Trump and by doing so, wiping their asses with the constitution despite all the blood their fathers spilled fighting for it.
House of representatives is rigged because of gerrymandering that has been sanctioned by the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court was rigged and its legitimacy destroyed by McConnell. Roe v Wade being overturned is a huge disgrace that was unfathomable 10 years ago. UN-FUCKING-FATHOMABLE. Remember Citizen United's ridiculous money = free speech and anonymous money now? Remember quid pro quo doesn't exist unless there is a suitcase of money being exchange? Lower courts have been stacked at a vertiginous rate during the Trump admin to make things much worse.
The presidency is rigged thanks to the electoral college that already allowed 2 illegitimate presidents to rule for 12 out of 20 years that should have had democratic presidents in any other democratic country in the world.
Public trust in the mainstream media is at an all-time low for no good reason. Just sabotage and lies from the other side, who respect no rules. Twitter, facebook and company enabled this to a nightmarish degree, best exemplified by QAnon. Another huge red flag.
Finally, a legit coup was attempted by the last president, who not only did not yield, but convinced the vast majority of republicans that the election was fraudulent, and his party is happy to enable dictatorship if that's what it takes to beat demographics. They have replaced all the principled people that balked at the last fraud attempt.
And who's in jail 16 months later? Nobody important. The people who needed to step up to the challenge have all failed. Starting with those who didn't abolish the electoral college in the 60s or 70s. Many failed to have the necessary balls and moral character necessary to do what was needed.
How many red flags do I need to realize we are the frog and the water is now reaching that boiling point?
Feel free to try and cheer me up because I need it after writing all that down.
There were plenty of Obama -> Trump voters that are to blame. They are a far larger problem than those who abstained.
Can we not turn this into a fuck Democrat thread, please, shit isn't remotely the time or place. Fuck off.
And those Republicans will go out to vote for their candidates no matter what. It's not a joke for them.
I know that I'm personally starting to spiral so I figured it was important to paste these here if anyone needs them:

Because Kirsten Sinema and Joe Manchin are preventing the Dems from ending the filibuster. That's why

imagine in a thread about one of the fundamental women's rights being attacked, and all you can post about is Student Loans?
