Catholics get abortions at the same rate as other groups.
Catholic vote is key . Too much talk about abortion this year will hurt Democrats chances. Come up with something else on the to do list /drawing board
In 2016, Donald Trump won 50 percent of Catholics compared to Hillary Clinton’s 46 percent. In 2020, Biden bested Trump among all Catholics, 52 percent to 47 percent.
🤣 You are hilarious
This isn’t hilarious. This is serious.
Dems once again showing their penchant for not being able to listen
Listen…to some rando on the internet?
What if they listen to Ohio where 57% of voters went in favor of a constitutional amendment to protect abortion rights?
What if they listen to Kentucky where 53% rejected a constitutional amendment that would have removed the right to abortion?
What if they listen to the brave women who testified last month in Texas?
Or are you saying listening to you is more important?
53% and 57% aren’t mandates you dolt.
What about the 70% of Americans that support Medicare for All?
What about the 73% of Republican voters that support free universal early child-care programs?
What about the 77% of Americans who overwhelmingly favor making public college and university tuition free for all qualified American students?
What about the 83% of Americans who support raising the federal minimum wage which is still $7.25 and not a living wage ?
They’re more than the winner of the 2020 presidential election in each state.
And you? Are citing polls and surveys. I am citing people who actually voted. There’s a world of difference.

The official 2023 year-end tally of carjackings in Washington, D.C., ended up being a staggering 959, twice the number of the previous year. There were 152 carjackings in 2019. That number more than doubled in 2020, and it has been soaring ever since.
The fact that shoplifters aren't prosecuted, and carjackers get the catch and release treatment is part of the problem. I just don't understand how any citizen can just abide by this lawlessness.
So, your theory is that a 33 percent decline in crime is... a problem and lawlessness?

Haha. I also think people who throw the terms “left wing” and “progressive” as insults truly no idea what those terms originally means.
Left wing stems from the fact that those who use to represent interests of the labor class sat on ten left hand spire of the room. Progressive just means a desire for progressive in positive change.
I am proudly a progressive left winger and hope the D party doesn’t die a slow death of “being moderate” (ie fraction of the party that thinks we are all good and no change needed).
Democrats have abandoned labor and support the desires of the laptop class.
You will have literally nothing to back this up with. Meanwhile the GOP actually hates labor and the working class, really anything that gives regular people any rights at all, they’re opposed to it.
You can’t be pro-labor and support open borders. Open borders are a disaster for the working classes.
Nobody supports open borders. This is just GOP fiction.
Crime statistics beg to differ with your partisan misinformation, PP.
You mean the crime that is down significantly since Trump left office?
Hahaha 😆 that's funny.
Might be funny, but it is true.
But the definition of crimes have changed as we are no longer punishing or reporting people the same way for certain crimes. It hasn’t been apples to apples over the years especially recently.
Exactly, if you think crime has decreased please go ask the working class (many hispanics) whose tires were recently slashed in Falls Church. That's a crime.
Go ask the many who have been carjacked in broad daylight. That's a crime.
Go ask the families of children gunned down in broad daylight if crime is down.
No one said there was no crime. Humans are going to commit crimes, it is, uh, human nature.
But crime is down in the last 3 years, it is a provable statistic, even if your anecdotal evidence is contrary.
Here you go....and if you go off and say overall across the country it's down blah blah blah...I'll tell you I don't care. I care about where I live.

Crime data from the Virginia State Police shows a 25% increase in crimes against people and property between 2019 and 2023 in Fairfax County.
and your theory is... Joe Biden has been allowing the Fairfax County crime rate to increase?
No, that's not what I said...just disputing your post about crime going down since 2020. Not everything can be blamed on POTUS (regardless of who he his). When crime goes up it's not the POTUS alone who is to blame...but policies in place at all levels. It's become common now to witness shoplifting and see nothing be done. How can anyone be ok with this? This is not about Dem or Rep necessarily but rather the idiotic policies in place that have allowed this to be ok. I mean I might as well go down to Tysons now and go grab some really nice clothes and shoes and just walk out.
Criminals who don't get caught will continue their illegal activities and escalate to bigger crimes.
