“The president has been adamant that we need to restore Roe. It is unfathomable that women today wake up in a country with less rights than their ancestors had years ago,” Fulks said.
Biden has been poised to run on what has been described as the strongest abortion rights platform of any general election candidate as he and his allies look to notch a victory in the first presidential election since Roe v. Wade was overturned in 2022.
Last month, Biden seized on a case in Texas, where a woman, Kate Cox, was denied an abortion despite the risk to her life posed by her pregnancy.
“No woman should be forced to go to court or flee her home state just to receive the health care she needs,” Biden said of the case. “But that is exactly what happened in Texas thanks to Republican elected officials, and it is simply outrageous. This should never happen in America, period.”
He had zero issues going around Congress to “sell” weapons to Israel to be used in an o going genocide…
Bonus points:
They “bought” the weapons with American taxpayers money after Biden had just given it to them.
Why can Biden go around Congress for that, but not for what would help Americans?
Because the president can’t create a constitutional amendment. They are not a member of the legislative branch. He can provide emergency military support, being the leader of the executive branch (head of the military)
I don’t agree with what he did, but it is under his perview apparently. Much like he can send our troops to fight for ~90 days before needing congressional approval. Essentially creating a situation that you are already in a war by the time congress can say no
He can fix the supreme Court all on his own by adding members, then the case can be brought up again.
But let me guess, you think if Dems do that, Republicans will somehow do even more of what they’re already doing?
So we’re going to ignore the stolen SC, because if we take it back legally, they might steal it again?
And people wonder why 1/3 of the country don’t vote.
Only one side is actually fighting, the other wants to pretend there’s no war because then people will ask them why they let it get this bad
Yeah, I suspect they’ll have no problem getting those new judges confirmed through the Senate. Genius play.
I get that you’re frustrated. We all are. But attacking the people who are mostly on your side instead of the people actively trying to hurt you doesn’t help.
A firefighter standing by my house while it brings down isn’t helping me.
Especially when he keeps telling me I need to work with the arsonist who set the fire and unless the arsonist agrees, he has no choice but to stand there socializing with the arsonist
I can say we need a different firefighter and that if the only other option is the arsonist…
Then ignoring that our system is broken doesn’t help anyone.
All it does is make less people vote on who the next firefighter is, and gives the arsonist better odds of winning.
I know it’s tempting, but burying your head in the sand won’t fix anything anymore than it has with climate change
Ok but the alternative wants me dead. He’s promising to strip my rights and get rid of people like me. So maybe some of us see y’all standing and taking this position and think “wow, we’re fucked”. Because you can’t even bring yourself to vote for a liberal against a fascist. Vote in the primaries like the rest of us. Try to convince moderates to vote left as they can.
Do you honestly think everyone that criticizes Biden won’t vote for him?
Jill Stein would have gotten second place if that was true. Most of the votes moderates get are from people that hate them.
I’m seeing a lot of people saying they won’t on here. And I’m getting sick of their bullshit.
You keep trying to push this narrative that only the far left has any actually significant popularity, like mainstream dem success is all a part of some grand conspiracy or something. But I think the reason most of the dem party in the House and Senate is more moderate, is because there are still a huge number of moderate voters.
It’s odd that you’re so reluctant to acknowledge that the dem party is a party of diversity, not some monolith of purity.
The number of Supreme Court justices is set by statute. The president cannot add more justices without the support of Congress.
