You're not voting for Dems, you're voting to keep Reps out. "My vote won't help things appreciably progress so instead I'm gonna let things deteriorate" is the argument you're making. People's rights are getting stripped because of this kind of apathy
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.
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.
