I don't think that's an acceptable argument in favor of making them worse. Women were better off before this Roe v. Wade bullshit. You have the privilege to not give a shit, so you'll do whatever you want with your ballot, I guess.

Women were better off before this Roe v. Wade bullshit.

absolutely. check out when that happened. If I cant convince you democrats are complicit in it, at least realize they're impotent at opposing it.

[–] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago (3 children)

So let's let Trump put in another supreme court justice or two. He already got three, which is why Roe was overturned. I don't understand how you think Democrats were complicit OR had any means of opposing it. It's the supreme court.

[–] jkrtn@lemmy.ml 5 points 5 months ago

Oh, I've actually seen that argument before. I can explain: they know women's body autonomy is a big issue, they know they're very visibly on the wrong side, but the best their propaganda network has come up with is "it happened during a Dem presidency sooooooooooo..."

They can expand it

Where's Biden's? If you think they have no means of opposing it, why do you want them elected? Whats the point?

[–] jkrtn@lemmy.ml 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It's really neat how you far-righties think that anyone other than yourselves finds that argument credible. Ok, Dems are impotent to stop Repub malfeasance, I guess I had better throw my vote in the trash instead of voting against Repubs, great thinking.

[–] blazera@lemmy.world -2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Far lefty. Dems and republicans are both conservative from my perspective.

[–] jkrtn@lemmy.ml 4 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Nah. Lefties are smart enough to understand who placed which judge on SCOTUS. Lefties understand the mathematics behind FPTP voting. And lefties care about the erosion of human rights from having Repubs in office. You have none of those qualities.

[–] Pan_Ziemniak@midwest.social 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

These so called "far lefties" have a hard time answering if u bring up that the Zapatistas, for example (the Spanish anarchists, u know, actual far lefties), list as second on their list of tenets (paraphrased) making conditions more tolerable under the current system while it lasts.

Typically far left parties still participate in electoral politics; its easier to accomplish leftist goals when the proles still have breathing room underneath the authoritarian boot.

[–] jkrtn@lemmy.ml 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Oh, thank you, good to know. Yeah, this guy is either far right or a petulant child. You only ever see "Joe Biden is responsible for Dobbs because 2022," from delusional Trumper cultists.

Lefties dont have fptp voting. Lefties have strong human rights records and a commanding lead over conservative parties in their countries because of it.

Progressive EU countries are lefties. Democrat led US is not.
