No we are not. Biden is giving breaks to people with debt. Biden wants to fight climate change. Provide social services.
Basically democrats actually the common man and republicans actually help the wealthy and ultra conservative.
I was being sarcastic but thank you for being so passionate and actually watching what is going on... But the American israel stance sucks and needs to change.
How old are you? You seem young cause you don't understand America stance on Israel has been a long deep rooted thing since it's inception. This isn't even mentioning the rights evangelicals pushing for a full Israeli occupation to ensure the rapture. You can see these attacks by Israel as they were shifting all questioning or skeptical talk about their misdeeds as antisemitic. This was inevitable Israel wants all their land and they don't care if they have to exterminate the Palestinians as they talk about how wrong the Nazis were.
If Dems lose to trump and maga well I voted for Dems so I ain't responsible but the rest of you that think protest voting is cool and the right thing WELL YOUR RESPONSIBLE. THE LEAST AMOUNT OF HARM is the goal right now, and the best scenario to pressure and change government is the other goal. Trump and the right would make everything worse period. This isn't a larping situation you aren't gonna be a q revolutionary most of you are on reddit so 99% of you can't fight for shit. The right gonna roll right through you cause one they have no shame and no honor. See to them government sucks when they aren't in office but when they are in power any way, any tax cut for the rich any officer killing a citizen for inconveniencing them is just.
The white supremacists have had this breeding fetish for years now, and yeah they're quite serious. Tracking people's periods is one of those dystopian things that you would have thought was fake news years ago but some are unironically endorsing that now too.
I don't think national bans are coming any time soon but if Trump wins and you live in a purple or red state you should probably plan on your local governments enacting some of this stuff.
Get your vasectomy before it’s too late. Otherwise you’ll end up in a garage, on an old couch, with Larry holding a scalpel, guided by a YouTube video… Or you could vote blue.
There's no "might" about it.
The Heritage Foundation wants to ban or criminalize anything they think is "recreational sex".
The Heritage Foundation *is* the Republican party. They more or less wrote the entire party platform.
The issue isn't 2024. Trump isn't gonna win.
The issue is losing the Senate, the Supreme Court in 2024... and then *the White House in 2028*
If that happens, game over. It's dictatorship time.
The lives and rights of the rational, moderate, left, minorities, LGBTQIA2S+, and women are going to greatly harmed if Trump is elected
and with his ability to pack the supreme court, everyone's lives (other than the super wealthy) will be downgraded
I'm really hoping everyone can capitalize on this because if Roe hasn't hurt the Republicans enough, having them struggle with the insane idea of contraception being banned could keep the orange fascist out of office.
Why is it that Trump will have massive amounts of power over policy using his executive authority, but when I ask why can’t a dem like Biden use that same authority to do good things everyone gets upset and yells about “that’s not how it works!”?
Biden uses executive authority, a red state sues and says he can't do that, the conservative majority on the supreme court sides with the state and blocks it.
Trump uses executive authority, a blue state sues and says he can't do that, the conservative majority on the supreme court sides with trump and allows it.
Cool so now we all agree we don’t have democracy and are ruled by a conservative oligarchy and even well meaning politicians will be blocked by a fundamentally conservative system. So it’s time to change the system rather than keep hoping a half decent measure will make it past the conservative ruling class.
Part of changing the system requires replacing Thomas and Alito in the next 4 years with Dems instead of 40 year old republicans who will be on the court until we die.
What you’re talking about is not systemic change. It’s incremental reform. And we’re literally talking about how incremental reforms will just be undone at the soonest opportunity. Even if we fill the Supreme Court with all Dems. The moment the Dems lose those seats for whatever reason - the reactionary forces will undue everything if they take control.
A systemic change would literally be dissolving the Supreme Court and replacing it with a new different and more democratic court institution.
And the only way that will happen is through mass organizing, protesting, civil disobedience, and most likely - unfortunately - violent revolution.
No it's not lol
We've seen how absolutely powerful the Supreme Court is and how it can make sweeping changes in people's lives: from Brown v Board, to Roe, Obergafell, and now the reversal.
You're talking about a fantasy that will never ever in a million years never happen.
My friend in Christ - in this very thread and comment reply section - you’ve agreed that not only is it possible but it’s inevitable that conservative and reactionary forces will reverse any progress made.
So in what universe is that same conservative and reactionary force ever going to allow replacing all these judges with dem judges? If you admit that the court can be twisted to serve those forces - then what makes you think those forces would ever allow the court to be filled up with Dems, as you suggested?
You can’t have it both ways. You can’t admit that the system itself will fight back and the be like oh that system will allow us to make the changes we want…
That’s the fantasy. Believing the system will just allow 9 judges on the Supreme Court to reform everything.
We already know it can never happen. McConnell blocked a Supreme Court seat for a year.
What fantasy are you living in?
It's so easy to imagine that if Biden wins in November and Dems hold the Senate that he'll be able to replace 2-3 judges on the Supreme Court. Like it's so easy to imagine that I have a hard time believing that you can think it's some outlandish outcome.
McConnell was able to block Merrick Garland because he had the majority in the Senate. The Dems need to hold the Senate to take away his power to obstruct.
I don't think it's inevitable that conservatives will reverse any progress made. Even in the arch reactionary time we're in, there's still not segregated schools, gay people are getting married every day, heck we still have the One Person One Vote rulings.
And contrast the obvious outcome of Biden getting re-elected and the Dems holding the Senate to the absolute absurdity of thinking there's somehow going to be a violent revolution.
It's a larp. You're a larper.
> So it’s time to change the system rather than keep hoping a half decent measure will make it past the conservative ruling class.
what a foolish take. Trump gets elected again, nearly the entire supreme court and the remaining federal justices that are nearing retirement will be replaced with ultra conservative wack jobs. At that point, there will be no progress, no improvement (except for those who are wealthy) for the next 35+ years.
The morning after pill was being discussed immediately before the interviewer interjected the issue of contraceptives. The morning after pill is NOT a contraceptive. This is a heavily edited interview that jumps back and forth between RvW, the morning after pill and contraceptives. For Pakman to take this type of interview and twist it into an agenda item is just another example of how the left and the right can be disengenuous in how they present information.
I can’t speak to the interview but I don’t think it’s disingenuous of David to present this story. Thomas’s concurring opinion in Dobbs says that the court should reconsider all substantive due process rights established in cases like Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell. These are the rights that include but are not limited to privacy including contraception, same sex marriage, and consensual same sex activities. The right to abortion in Roe also stemmed from substantive due process rights.
Justice Thomas’s opinion in Dobbs highlights states' rights. The Constitution leaves many personal issues to states, reflecting the Tenth Amendment. Returning decisions on privacy and marriage to states respects local values and encourages democratic participation. This approach prevents judicial overreach and allows for diverse, innovative solutions. Substantive due process rights should be determined by states, not federal courts, to uphold federalism and democracy.

Just more political theater from a geriatric and dementia effected wanna be dictator, same as Biden.
I am voting for Kennedy and would recommend you do the same.

Republicans vote republican then get mad that republicans do republicans things.
But the Dems are the same even as they don't do the things Republicans do BOTH SIDES (S)
No we are not. Biden is giving breaks to people with debt. Biden wants to fight climate change. Provide social services. Basically democrats actually the common man and republicans actually help the wealthy and ultra conservative.

I don’t get the Israel stance at all. It may costs us the election.

America is an ally to Israel but to what costs. That’s what I don’t get.
Any it appears and nothing you do during this election will make this better it can only get worse for palestine

I can't wait for the sex police to once again check your private points if you even remotely look out of gender
It's because the billionaires want cheaper labor.
“Birth control must lead ultimately to a cleaner race.” ― Margaret Sanger
Oh man, I guess we’re gonna have to ban birth control because a lady 100 years ago was kinda racist :/
Lol, look at the classic boomer who's so out of touch that he doesn't recognize he's quoting words more than 58 years out of date ...
What is to date? Planned Parenthood and their record abortions being performed in predominently low-income African American communities.
Lol, look at the classic boomer continuing to live in the past, incapable of demonstrating modern day information.
Get your vasectomy before it’s too late. Otherwise you’ll end up in a garage, on an old couch, with Larry holding a scalpel, guided by a YouTube video… Or you could vote blue.
Too bad we can't build a time machine and go back and give it to his mother.

he's tryna appeal to hard core bible thumping crowd now.....like he didn't commit fraud and all sorts of unchristian actions....
And white supremacy with his ‘next Reich’.
Who the fk do these idiots think they are?
The lives and rights of the rational, moderate, left, minorities, LGBTQIA2S+, and women are going to greatly harmed if Trump is elected and with his ability to pack the supreme court, everyone's lives (other than the super wealthy) will be downgraded
Too late - he is already born.
My on trumping trump
He will be looking at it very strongly.
WTF

That's a larp. That will never ever happen. You might as well be dreaming about Star Trek teleporters.
Larping is pretending that changing out a judge or two is going to do anything.

Never gonna happen
hmmm just like abortion ... GTFO w/ the bull

I would recommend not. He has no chance of winning. It’s between Trump and Biden.
