    So he can do nothing? His hands are tied? Then what’s the point of voting blue if you’re just going to get an “oh well 🤷🏼‍♀️” whenever your rights are being taken away?

    What are Democrats going to do to prevent this?

    What would you expect him to do in that scenario?

    To prevent what he and the Democrats always say will happen if a Republican is president. Don’t tell me trump will be worse and do fuckall to protect people’s rights.

    The new democratic slogan should be “we can’t actually stop them and aren’t trying to. We just hope the lie scares you enough to vote for us. Nothing will fundamentally change.”

      I think that perhaps you have just given up, because I don’t think that’s at all what the Dems are doing at the moment.

      Actually, I do in fact think Trump would make things much worse. To think he wouldn’t is denying the inevitable.

      To think NO change has happened is false and not inserting any nuance into American politics.

        Shit is getting worse even with a Democrat in office. It’s not that I’ve “given up” it’s that I see it for what it is and I’m not interested in democrat gaslighting.

        It’s delusional to see this as anything other than Democrats not wanting to actually deliver on their promises. They want to be the party of vague threats.

        To think NO change has happened is false and not inserting any nuance into American politics.

        Roe v Wade was overturned under Biden.

        Homelessness can now be considered a crime that isn’t immune from cruel and unusual punishments, this happened under Biden.

        The president was declared immune from the law under Biden.

        The genocide is quickly progressing into a regional war (which is worse) under Biden.

        Food prices and the costs of living have continued to rise and will continue to rise under Biden, and he will offer no meaningful change in that regard.

        These are the changes that have occurred under the Democrats.
