I wanna be wrong but seeing ppl say just vote is proof that there’s no willingness or desire from the population to organize to *actually* challenge power. 16 minutes ago, Espresso said: I've said the same thing. Once there's a nationwide ban on birth control/IUD's that might be a different story, but that's just on this topic. Yeah I agree. Thing is, though, a federal ban would galvanize pro-choice women in blue states, which doesn’t really change the status quo that the Senate map favors Republicans, and that the House will be in constant flux due to national whims (such as the current ire over gas prices and inflation, while in 2018 it was angst over healthcare which isn’t even remotely talked about anymore).

Any more genius ideas, @hardbrit? women are now being forced to stock up on however many plan b pills they can get their hands on. Truly jarring. I’m sure people like @hardbrit also support universal free healthcare, free Pre-K, paid maternity leave, and other policies that ensure these forced babies and mothers are taken care of because “pro-life”, right?
Listentoyourheart Posted June 24, 2022 Posted June 24, 2022 I remember when The Handmaid's Tale started airing, I thought that such a future is just not fathomable for the US. And whelp, guess what, this is the first step towards it. Americans need to WAKE UP, it's horrifying to watch. Best regards, the civilized world

What are you smoking? It’s half the population’s bodies, not to mention couples who don’t want children. Give it some time. Rapists have rights to the children that were birthed as a result of the rape they committed. Women are banned from leaving their states to get an abortion. Hotlines to snitch on those who have gotten or are performing abortions are being set up. 1 in 4 women will have an abortion in her lifetime. This isn’t a minor point. Crime is going to skyrocket. States are planning to try women who get abortions for murder. You have no idea what’s coming. Get ready. Edited June 24, 2022 by Horizon Flame

All polls are showing Democrats are going to lose the house. There are NOT enough flippable Senate seats to overcome the filibuster. Voting is NOT going to help us today or tomorrow or in 2 weeks. Voting is actually the least amount of pressure you could enforce. The filibuster is just a formality that can be DONE AWAY WITH with just a majority vote. Democrats are REFUSING to do that. That is what is preventing us from codifying women’s rights right now! Doing away with the hyde amendment would allow legislation the room to put abortion rights into a budget reconciliation bill by giving everyone household a certain amount of money to have that procedure done. kicking the ball down the street is what Democrats love to do. There is no courage there is no actual want from them to protect anything.

I remember when Biden was basically the only Dem on the primary stage who supported the Hyde Amendment and he had to get bullied into switching his position (for youuuuu). I'm sure deep down, he actually still supports it though. Doesn't matter, cause Manchin does too.
ATRL Moderator Bloo Posted June 24, 2022 ATRL Moderator Posted June 24, 2022 2 hours ago, Communion said: Let alone that voting won't do anything if politicians refuse to do as the public wants. Biden is so ideologically opposed to expanding the court that he has reduced himself to a lame duck for the next 2 years while rights are taken away. Everyone who promised he would be pushed to the left and could be convinced of going along with expanding the court should be ashamed. Exactly. They’re, at best, placeholders. There’s value in that, so long as we understand that they’re not going to be proactive actors in protecting us and advancing meaningful change on their own. If people want to vote blue no matter who to do nothing more but stop a Republican, that’s fine. But you cannot become complacent to the Democratic party’s complacency. Even LBJ was only proactive on civil rights because the public held his feet to the fire. We need a stronger and more organized activist effort.

Stop electing these ******* dinosaurs, my god. It feels like we're already in hell having to fight on every front to save people from their own selfs.
Jynx672 Posted June 24, 2022 Posted June 24, 2022 This isn't a bad thing actually, it'll get liberals to move to blue states where abortion is legal and make an actual divorce possible. Because let's be honest: America is far too divided to be a functional country at this point.

There is a world beyond NYC and other big cities gwurl. The US is an enormous country, far bigger than Europe with huge differences in costs of living. Surely it won't be easy, but it's obvious that liberals and conservatives have very different outlooks on life which makes peaceful co-existence increasingly difficult.

What does this have to do with anything I just said. You said people can "move" to liberal states. Relocating is an expensive ordeal and acting like it's a tenable solution is childish. Even if that could happen, why would concentrating more left-leaning voters in strong blue states be good when it would literally strengthen conservatives electorally in both presidential and senate races? What you're proposing is basically a split country where LGBTQ+ people can be oppressed and criminalized in red states and free in blue states. That's... not... a solution.

That’s also not what the outcome would be, as federal bans for gay sex/marriage would be coming down on the blue states just like the federal abortion ban will in 2025.

rivers Posted June 24, 2022 Posted June 24, 2022 So what states are outright banning abortion with no exceptions?

This, coupled with protesting is the only way to make your voice HEARD. Not voting is what causes these disastrous decisions. Too many people sat on the sidelines in 2016, and now we're all suffering the consequences. And clearly, government isn’t responding to these “voices” or the interests of the masses. It’s therefore counterintuitive to blame voters rather than the officials and their donors that wield outsized authority on legislation. Edited June 24, 2022 by DAP
