Respectfully, you just watched women lose the right to abortion a year ago when Democrats had the presidency and control of Congress. Their response was to use it to raise money, not act in any way to stop it or create positive change.
There are so many more examples of this too.
You voted for deterioration, and so did I. That's not a matter of opinion, but of historical record.
I'm not sure if you're just ignorant of the topics you're bringing up or are actually being disingenuous, but I'm going to act as if you're being genuine for the sake of other people reading this.
Women lost abortion because R senators fucked with the system while Obama was in office and then pushed another SCOTUS appointment through while Trump was in office. Repealing RvW had literally nothing to do with who was sitting in the oval office and everything to do with Rs abusing the lack of a D supermajority to put corrupt judges on the SCOTUS. With that knowledge taken into consideration here, your argument boils down to "Rs abused the system while a minority and Ds didnt have a supermajority to stop it, therefore I don't care if Rs gain a majority. Things couldn't be done to stop the abusers before so idc if the abusers get more power."
I voted against the US moving towards A Handmaid's Tale; you're arguing for who cares if it moves towards A Handmaid's Tale
Women lost the right to abortion, because of the previous administrations actions and ability to install judges to the federal courts, at all levels, but specifically at the SCOTUS level. Though it alsorequired that cases make it through the federal courts too.
