OT: American Politics

I think trans community is next, then something to do with voting rights and congressional maps (in favour of the Republicans), then birth control, and then the Gay community
 
We have a few options here...

End of democracy across the country.

A "friendly" civil war that ends up with the country split in two.

A surge at the polls for democrats because this wakes enough people up to win the vote while the Dems have the power to keep the election on the up and up (if the gop gets power that's over).

That only brings us back to where we are...yay
 
Why would anyone even moderately progressive choose to live in a fascist red state anymore (I mean once they’re old enough to have the choice). Unfortunately this means the Rs will control the Senate forever.

Time for a serious sensible-state secessionist movement. Give them 5m of land across the bottom of the Canadian border as a land bridge between Washington and Michigan. The south and the flyover states can get fucked. Take away Christian fascist country’s economic engine and let them burn.
 
All the people who said people concerned about this were overreacting or hysterical can quite frankly, get fucked.
honestly that is being generous in my mind...

concerted effort to undermine hard fought rights of women and other minority groups and send us back to the fucking stone ages, all underpinned by fucking SCOTUS.

if there is any one thing you can count on the Dems for, it is to constantly disappoint you and find ways to miraculously underperform
 
I think I understand why habsy doesn't venture here.

I am pissed at him and the people like him who let their country get here...we'd probably just spend all our time saying "I told you so"

But man...we fucking told you so
honestly I feel like most here have taken it pretty easy on him, but he may disagree.
 
Here's the issue - many dem politicians are probably happy about this because it gives them a massive political issue heading into the election.

america, man.
electing their federal congresspeople every goddamn two years is asinine. results speak for themselves. not that our system is bulletproof...

So maybe this is a dumb question and I know you probably don't have the votes to codify Roe because Manchin but why not force a vote and draw huge amounts of attention to it then? Biden ran on a promise to codify.
