So, my thought here is that I really feel like this should be leading the effort to get Joe Biden returned to office in 2025. This shit really does scare me – how efficiently the GOP has planned to do this shit, and how abjectly bad the Democrats are at bringing this up. Maybe it’s because I’m not a political campaign runner and there’s something I’m missing, but man, it feels like this would be IMPORTANT to get in front of the voters? What are your guyses’ thoughts on this topic?
I think the part you’re missing is that Biden doesn’t actually support abortion rights on a personal level. He’s perfectly willing to keep his mouth shut and let the GOP have their victory.
Edit: Him and most the other centrists.
This has got to be one of the dumbest takes EVER. Biden has been full-throated calling out the GOP for this shit, and this is a central part of his campaign.
Even if I even partially buy the idea that Biden is a squishy moderate that would rather play at being liberal while holding his hands out to the donor class for that cold hard campaign cash, I still look at the stark choice this November and realise that the way American democracy is built, either I get Biden’s milquetoast neoliberal positions, or I get the Heritage Foundation’s and Trump’s brand of Mussolini-style Fascism.
At least I think that most of Lemmy agrees with me, given you’ve gotten 9 downvotes plus at most 3 upvotes, and that’s assuming you removed your own upvote! We just have to get in front of most regular Americans and highlight the fact that if Trump wins, they have a plan to end American democracy once and for all.
