They've been ruining stuff without having to win.

They're running stuff even in the minority

Roe is gone, it's not on the ballot. And no realistic number of Dems being elected is going to bring it back.

It definitely feels the Democratic base is so disillusioned and jaded with the Democrats that they wont bother to vote

and thats what the Republicans want

They don't have the Senate, not with Manchin and Sinema gumming up the works.

And thats how they will win. People just think that, do nothing and keep letting them win.

The cynicism is dripping like never before

If enough Dems get voted in they can flip state legislatures and then protect the right to abortion. So the spirit of Roe is still on the ballot

Vote harder.
Donate harder.
So we can twiddle our thumbs and shrug harder.

Bernie Sanders wanted positive change. Joe Biden wanted to keep the status quo.

Dems are useless opposition

joe biden fought for clarence thomas 30 years ago against anita hill accusations. think about that

That won't put it back as the constitutional right it was this morning and would still leave people in Texas, Alabama, Florida, Missouri, Mississippi, Louisiana etc to rot. You're talking about heroic efforts just to still be in a worse position at this point. That seems to be all elected Dems can offer across the board.

This is not a call not to vote or not to vote blue. I will continue to do so to slow the collapse, but it sure looks like its coming fast now.

Good for the Dems. Inflation/Recession is cancelled they have abortion to distract from the rising gas/rent prices.

Well not the senate, but yeah.

The Dems that win will do their job.

For example, all signs are pointing towards Hochul getting re-elected in as NYS Governor, so Abortion ain't going anywhere in NYS.

The onus is now on the red and purple states electing pro-choice candidates to represent them.

And Trump moved us backwards. And was voted in partially because Bernie voters wouldn't vote for Hillary.
Sooo...who is really to blame here?

Its 50/50. You need more progressive/liberals to overcome the 2 moderate votes (Joe/Kyrsten)

5 Supreme Court justices and the GOP.

Let's blame people directly for their actions instead of running down a list of dominos. Are we going to blame the founding fathers for creating the country that eventually led to this day?

In 2009 the democrats had the presidency, house, and a super-majority in the senate. This was obama's response after running on codifying roe v wade:

On the local level? Absolutely they will.

Problem is, gerrymandering and other garbage will stop them from getting the majority in many purple states.

Blame the DNC for shoehorning the worst possible establishment bureaucrat candidate instead of the one people actually wanted

this has been debunked years ago. fuck off

Hillary for not making the minimum effort visiting Michigan.

Can't rely on politicians. The only way things significantly change for the better is if the people risk their lives in unison.

It was on the ballot in 2016. It won't be on the ballot in 2022, and probably not for a few years to come

Didnt Biden promise cancelling student debt. I dont trust it will happen.

Yes

Manchin and Sinema are Democrats.

The more Democrats you vote in, the more Manchin and Sinemas will be there to gum up the works.

This has held true for decades and how a super majority was gummed up.

You will never do better than a super majority, which still wasn't enough.

These milquetoast Dems irritate my soul.

The 2020 election had the highest voter turnout (in both raw numbers and as a percentage of the eligible voting population) in the entire history of the United States, how much more voting can the Democrats possibly expect? We literally never voted harder than we did last cycle and they are telling us it wasnt enough to do anything, weve gotta vote harder!

Absolutely fucking embarrassing to have politicians be so spineless in the face of rapidly approaching fascism.

Feeling like a move to Canada... But if America fully falls, will Canada be safe from the empire?

It's actually not on the ballot, because we're not allowed to have federal laws go to a national popular vote because the United States is fucking garbage.

It doesn't need to be. Take action you senile old fart.

These Centrist Republicans with a (D) next to their names.... "Vote me, vote me, vote me" ....

Instead, why not use your platform to inform women of resources? Sinema and Manchin should stop saying 'who could have seen this coming?' and abolish the filibuster. Expand the courts. Do something. Anything.

Is it on the ballot for me, a DC resident?
