Ah the old "political stunt" excuse thrown around EVERY TIME a politician does their job and engages in politics.
To be fair, I remember a few short years ago Pelosi not letting minimum wage be voted on the floor because since she thought there was no way it would pass it was nothing more than a stunt and it would hurt the movement because people will get tired of voting for it. Why doesn't that apply here or why was she lying to us then?
Democrats are spineless when it comes to things that may impact rich people even slightly and we're just lucky no one found a way to make billions off of making abortion illegal.
now that abortion access in certain states have been limited just like with other rights that have devolved into a state's rights issue people have to have gas, food, and lodging to access extra demographic rights
a PA box which has extra costs compared to a PO box is also required to access demographic rights as well as other hidden costs
so they did find a way
not to mention fundraising for and against it makes a dick ton of money
and it is making people criminals to access these demographics rights
the megacorp prison glomerate will make a shit load as well so the dissidents can have access to basic toiletries, communication with family and friends
next four years are going to suck either way and salt on the wound is Biden's crimes bill will come back to haunt everyone combined with these latest assaults to our democracy
all adding up
