    Do you honestly believe “the Democrats and Republicans are exactly the same”. Do you not accept that the abortion policy of the Democrats is better, for example?

      You mean the one where they let the Republicans repeal Roe v Wade without doing anything about it despite their candidate being president? That one? In that case please do forgive me as it’s obviously very different! If it had been a Republican Roe v Wade would have been overturned, but thanks to the Democrats Roe v Wade has been overturned but at least a democrat was president! Soooo much better!

        It’s a perfect example of liberal idealism. They ignore how the world actually is, instead treating identical actions and outcomes as somehow different based on vibes.

        We’ve seen what a democratic supermajority looks like. It’s one where Romneycare becomes national policy, Roe v. Wade isn’t codified, and the Bush Doctrine is expanded. Yet somehow, things would totally be different in the year of our Lord 2026 anno dominoes pizza, as if Biden’s administration wasn’t an extension of Trump.

      When have the Democrats actually defended abortion? They’ve had plenty of opportunities to codify it as a right, but they don’t actually want to do that. Their abortion policy is worse than Republicans because they’re dishonest about wanting to protect it, while the Republicans are honest about being assholes who don’t believe women should have rights.
