Thanks Dems for doing jack shit about abortion bans, trans bans, the cost of living, the drone strikes, global warming, COVID.
Might as well just call them Blue conservatives. The outcome of voting for them is much the same.

I’m not keen on defending democrats, but there would absolutely be a federal abortion ban right now if Trump had been re-elected.
Our government is in extremely bad shape, one federal election isn’t going to fix it.
Roe v Wade was overturned under the Biden administration, idk if you missed that.
You do understand that this happened because of the supreme court, and not because of Biden, right? And the supreme court was able to do this because of Trump. Could you explain what Biden should have done to protect abortion rights on a federal level?
Surely! Here’s a small and incomplete list of things he could do, at varying levels of usefulness and ease:
Joe Biden is the President of the United States of America, the most powerful empire the world has ever seen. He’s not a powerless smol bean. If he actually wants something to happen, there’s a long list of ways to go about it. If something does or doesn’t happen under his watch, that is his responsibility.
I've always been saying that if it were two Republicans that had held up every Trump legislative priority, Trump would have been bullying them every day until they acquiesced, but Biden allowed Manchin and Sinema to do exactly that and acted all powerless.
Isn't it odd how the Presidency is only weak when it comes to Democrats passing their own platforms?
Oh my god, can you imagine if it was Ted Cruz and Mitt Romney holding things up? Trump would’ve had them killed if McConnell didn’t do it first. But the republicans don’t have that problem because they actually keep their members on the party line where it matters
so do democrats. what you're seeing is not them failing to keep their party in line. this is their line.
Yeah because we should totally trust that the guy who spent 99% of his career opposing reproduction rights just couldn't do anything to stop the supreme court from overturning Roe
Yeah, seems like Biden just let it happen because even if his position changed publicly for the 2020 election, what he believes behind closed doors never changed
I get the impression no one in the senior dems actually cared about abortion. Pelosi saying it wasn't important, multiple failures to pass legislation. The unforgivable acceptance of fash scotus' lies when they said they weren't going to overthrow roe. They've never done anything to protect abortion on the national level, and the simplest explanation is they don't give a shit.
Oh yeah,

I still remember
picking an anti choice VP in 2016
