Is that really the fault of Biden though? His first two years were held hostage by Manchin and Sinema and now he no longer has a majority in the house. The president can only sign bills into law not make them out of thin air. I am not a huge Biden fan as I think he is too old to lead but I think he has done ok under the conditions he has.

It’s not his fault, but it explains why people don’t think voting will help.

That attitude is why Rowe v. Wade is gone now. The Parties are NOT the same!!!!

Agreed that the bOtH sIdEs argument is utter bullshit.

However, Roe was never actually codified into law because it was a reliable rallying cry for Democratic politicians. Put another way: Democrats never seriously pushed to make Roe an actual law because it was politically beneficial to the party in elections.

Democratic politicians have bleated about protecting abortion rights for decades, but simultaneously completely ignored actually protecting abortion rights with laws.

Democrats never push to do anything that upsets the status quo. They are cowards. And any democrat who does push that agenda, is labeled some sort of extremist socialist nutjob.

This is why so many of us are outraged.

Channel your outrage in a way other than voting for a party making things worse. I get you want progress but the options are very very slow progress or regression....don't vote for regression.

there is no productive way to channel it politically. everyone who is in office and running for office is 100% about maintaining the status quo because it benefits the top 10% to the detriment of everyone else in USA society.

all i can do is fix up my house. lol

Gen Z + Millennials = 142 Million

Gen X + Boomers = 134 Million

The youth of this country has been conned into thinking they have no power. Boomers don't want you to vote.
