So you think there are 60 million women who would support candidates who are vague on the women's health issue? |
Yes, you are making my point. Each state will decide on abortion rights. Congress can barely fund the Government. It is very unlikely that any Congress will get it together to pass major legislation. |
If by "Congress" you mean the Republicans, then sure. If the Dems had enougn votes, they would pass legislation addressing women's health rights as well as immigration. |
Yes, it’s former Alabama Senator Doug Jones. The article is here: https://www.politico.com/news/2023/11/09/inside-the-gops-operation-to-retire-manchin-00126472 |
Shame on Joe manchin if he participates in this underhanded cowardly game. Just endorse trump if you want him in the white house. |
The Dems had control of Congress and the White House under Clinton, Obama, and Biden, and never got any of this done. |
Well there you go. The article is about the Republicans trying to regain control of the Senate. |
Roe was still in effect and wasn't threatened. There wasn't anything to "get done" As to immigration, yes, they passed a bill in the senate, but GOP speaker ryan refused to bring it to the house floor. |
And it includes other issues such as this excerpt, "After the governor got in the race, McConnell’s campaign chief, Sen. Steve Daines (R-Mont.), spent months trying to persuade former President Donald Trump to endorse Justice, according to a person familiar with the discussions. During the ultimately successful operation, Daines argued to Trump that endorsing Justice could knock Manchin out of the race — and make the Democrat more likely to run for president, siphoning votes from Biden." |
There’s no plausible deniability in that. |
+1 I can’t believe anyone is that dumb or is happy to do the bidding of the forced birthers and pretend to be that dumb. It’s a vote for Biden or a vote for fascism. It is 100% a binary choice. A vote for anyone besides Biden is effectively a vote for fascism, and if that bothers you, tough. Take it out on the GOP that refuses to grow up. |
Anyone who could count knew that there were 5-6 votes to overturn Roe during the Trump Administration. Yet Democrats did nothing in Congress in 2021 and 2022 to pass legislation unlike what many states had already done. During the Obama Administration, nothing was done on immigration despite Democrats controlling both the House and Senate (before there was a Speaker Ryan). This is why we need a third party. |
