Motown Bombers

Yeah I'm the one with the AR15 when I still haven't gotten a straight answer on how Biden, Schumer and Pelosi are to blame for the Republicans overturning Roe. Best I got was Pelosi endorsing one representative and Biden making a comment of McConnell being reasonable.

I also don't see Pelosi getting credit for playing McCarthy and getting this J6 committee and two conservatives to serve on the committee.

I think she said this is her last term as speaker. I can't wait for a progressive to become speaker and come up with hit slogans such as defund the police and then blame Pelosi and Schumer.

I'm countering that Republicans are the ones who ended Roe and blaming Democrats is akin to she was asking for it. I'm also arguing that this circle firing squad on Democrats by Democrats will lead to Republicans taking over and further backsliding the US. The focus should be on getting Democrats elected in the states I mentioned who have been on record as supporting an end to the filibuster instead of attacking Democrats for what Republicans did to Roe.

Just remember, the states that are passing anti abortion bills are states with Republican majorities. The state that are passing pro life bills are states with Democratic majorities. California and Massachusetts just passed safe haven laws.

Actually, I take that back. Rubio will end the filibuster when Republicans get control and vote to enact a national abortion ban.

I'll go out on a limb and say Demings is more likely to end the filibuster than Rubio. I know for a fact she will vote to codify Roe unlike Rubio.

Well, it passed by 7 votes already, 218 to 1 by Democrats, you build enough of a majority so that one or two votes doesn't kill the bill. Tell me, what can Pelosi do right now, now that the bill has passed the house several months ago before the endorsement? You complain about leadership, tell me what can she do right now to get it codified by the senate? She literally passed the bill to codify Roe and you can't even acknowledge that she got it done and instead want to complain about an endorsement months after she got the bill passed.

Well, Fetterman is on record as willing to eliminate the filibuster. Flip that from Toomey to Fetterman and you have one more vote for eliminating the filibuster. Not sure who the leading candidate is in WI yet. Val Demings is on record for removing the filibuster. Flipping from Rubio to Demings would be another vote. Tim Ryan is on record supporting removing the filibuster. That's a 3rd vote for removing it. Cheri Beasley has supported removing the filibuster in the past but has been inconsistent on it. Still, there's more potential from her to remove the filibuster than whatever Republican wins North Carolina. That's 5 winnable seats and 5 potential votes to remove the filibuster. It won't happen because too many Democrats are self-loathing.

Democrats could elect more Democrats from states such as PA and WI to eliminate the filibuster but they won't because they are too busy pouting.

Now we're in a fucking purity contest over an endorsement of a representative from Texas long after Pelosi got a near unanimous vote from Democrats to codify Roe.

Pelosi got the bill passed in the house. One more Democrat in the house is meaningless in regards to codifying Roe. The bill passed the house with only one Democrat dissenting. Tell me, how does Pelosi get it passed in the senate? Remember, 49 of 50 Democratic senators passed it in the senate including pro-life Democrat Bob Casey. At some pint, you actually have to start blaming the people who overturned Roe such as all the justices appointed by Republicans and confirmed by Republican majorities.

I just remembered that Republicans are going to come for social security and Medicare. Shit, this is going to affect me after all. Hopefully losing everything will be inspiring enough for young voters.

I don't get why she is so unlikeable but whatever I vote for people who can do the job.

Hillary wasn't an inspiring candidate but I do know if she were elected Roe would still be in effect today.

They still reap the consequences but feel it's God's plan.

My congressman and both senators voted to codify Roe. What else can I ask them to do? I'm ready to write to them.

You know what, it's fine. Let them pout. Going after Roe doesn't affect me. Going after Obergefell doesn't affect me. Going after Loving doesn't affect me. However, if they come for my weed we have problems.

Democrats are starting to sound more like Trump. You need to codify Roe. They did vote for it but there isn't enough of them. OMG do more. What more can we do? I don't know, inspire me. It's like when Trump asked Pence to overturn the election and he told him he can't and Trump was just like find a way.

This is why I have no hope for this country. Apparently the Republicans trying to end democracy and taking away rights is till not enough to inspire young people to vote. I guess they will get the future they deserve.

They all voted to codify Roe. 218 out of 219 voted to codify Roe. What else can the house do? I have yet to receive an answer on what house Democrats are suppose to do from the people who say they aren't doing enough.

I've been thinking about those voters in 2000 who voted for Nader instead of Gore in protest. How's that working out for them? All we needed was about 500 of those votes in Florida to vote for Gore and we wouldn't have a Roberts or Alito. I hope they made whatever point it was they were trying to make by helping Bush to victory.

I have just accepted the fact that a faction of Democratic voters are going to pout and blame Democrats instead of Republicans and sit it out. Should have realized that after the Bernie or bust progressives sat it out with a supreme court seat being held hostage. Democrats may lose but as a heterosexual white male it won't affect me as much as others.
