Trump and the Republicans chose who’s sitting on the SCOTUS and let me tell you, they changed the lives of a ton of women. That’s all politics, had Democrats been in power from 2016 forward that wouldn’t have happened, the only way to change that would have been to elect them.
Either you’re very young and trying to sound edgy or you’re old and ignorant if you don’t realize that everything is political and it’s the politicians we elect that have a real say in the matter.
They had a 60-seat senate majority in the senate in 2008 and chose not to codify Roe. They twirled their thumbs while Republicans openly plotted to do exactly what they did, for decades. If Democrats had been in power in 2016, Republicans would have done the same thing in 2020, or 2024, or whenever they got power back.
I’m not saying don’t vote Democrat, but electoral politics is not enough.
Thing is, there’s no reason the US should ever have the Republicans in power in the first place so maybe if people actually took the time to realise their vote matters and that politicians have power, they would go out and make sure it’s people that will actually improve their lives who get in power instead of going on the internet and say “Politicians don’t do anything, it’s done unknown person hiding in the shadows who make decisions.”
