    You are acting childish, women’s lives are on the line. The system is broken as shit but it’s what we have - voting for anyone but blue fascist or red fascist is just shirking responsibility.

    That fucking said, make your voice heard in the primary, vote uncommitted or for a local competitor (if one actually exists and isn’t worse than Biden). In other races vote for candidates that have a reasonable chance of winning, if you live in a solid blue state DSA is usually a great option.

    The system fucking sucks and I am sure as hell not going to defend it, I hate it so much that I emigrated… but I’m still going to vote.

      Did you have that same energy when Obama said that codifying Roe versus Wade was no longer a priority?

        Yea, it was fucking awful. Obama was not a good president - because of his actions we ended up with a watered-down ACA that has only marginally improved healthcare accessibility… and he often gets credit for gay marriage when he was really just riding the tail end of the social movement. If Clinton had locked in gay marriage in the 90s I’d be fucking impressed, there was a social movement but it didn’t have traction back then - by Obama several states had already done the hard work. Also drones fucking suck…

        But yea, France just wrote Abortion accessibility into their constitution, that’s how you fucking do it.
