Voting matters. Y’all should grow up. Yes, voting doesn’t solve everything but it clearly matters.

    That’s just cope. Biden was gonna put forth an abortion bill and Manchin and Sinema (who’re in the Senate btw not the House) would’ve done jack shit against it.

      Why didn't he do that before the midterms?

      With the Dems, there's always an excuse.

      They would've found their House versions of those 2, as many as they needed.

      If the Dems actually cared about these things, they would've codified them a long time ago and not waited until after Roe was overturned.

        The Dems being shit is no excuse to not vote for them, when, as I’ve said, the opponents are literally fascists. The Dems can be as useless and neoliberal shills as possible, but they’re not the ones taking away trans and gay and women’s rights.

          This is just the "lesser of 2 evils" argument, one everyone here is already thoroughly familiar with, and either doesn't agree with it or does.

          Odds are, no one here's minds are gonna be changed either way at this point, especially not with condescending "grow up" language.

      on what possible basis are you making that claim. Biden litterally had the house and the senate and didn't do this.

      I doubt they would have passed meaningful abortion legislation even if they kept the House. As someone else pointed out, they already have the House and still haven't done it. Why was that not all they were focused on since the Supreme Court decision was leaked?

      That said, it's easier to criticize electoral politics when you vote (so libs can't turn the conversation around and blame you) and when Democrats are in power but ineffective. For someone real invested in voting, radicalization happens when they win but don't get the result they wanted.

        Exactly! I was turned when I wanted Sanders and the Clintons and the Dem establishment literally fucked him over (while the Republicans let Trump win because the capitalists knew he wasn’t gonna do shit against them).
