I apologize for the intensity on my part. I’m just very tired of these “both sides” style points. That might not even be your intention, but that’s functionally what is happening in these cases. Democrats are the only ones moving the needle on these rights and if we are convinced it doesn’t make a difference then it all that stops. What’s more, the GOP will then start to peel those gains back. I assure you you will notice the difference when those rights are gone, e.g. Roe
I may not be thrilled with the state of the Dems at this moment, and will loudly bitch about it, but I also advocate that everyone I know votes blue on the national ticket, straight down, and I'd limp my ass halfway across the country to vote blue myself if I had to. Definitely don't mean to push a "BOTH SIDES" style point, so I apologize if it came off that way.
I might just be being too uncharitable in my read so I’ll gladly own some of that. Sorry again for the intensity.
No worries, I get the same way. If politics isn't worth getting intense about, what is?
Amen haha
