So when Trump wins and my rights to exist are stripped even further, I’ll be sure to thank you for it
Republicans and Democrats were unable to stop legislation from the Judiciary with Roe v. Wade and later Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization. Super PAC's donate multiple lifetimes of dollars to Presidential candidates in a quid pro quo system protected by the first amendment under Citizens United v. FEC. Americans outside the oligarchy will never exhibit their influence.
If oligarchs find your existence icky, they have the power to remove your "right" to exist. You lack the power to prevent it. Instead of thanking anyone, I suggest we take the power back. Punch up.
Voting doesn't affect your ability to do other activism.
Agreed. Voting shouldn't be the only activism we are involved in. My comment was about solidarity against the oligarchs that can decide to make life harder for people they deem icky.
The dems are not bringing your rights back. Project 2025 is happening regardless of who wins president due to how captured the court system is.
Everything is always about YOU 🤡
Pathetic...
stop voting for genocide.
Every vote or lack thereof is a vote for genocide. There isn't really a way to vote against it.
