Think of it this way:

This will never happen, because this is America, and the rich don’t have laws.

You seem to be missing the forest for a sapling.  

>>>>>>”Roe Is Dead & Democrats Want Us to Vote—for What, Exactly?”

COVID isn’t selective enough in who it infects and kills.  Just sayin’.  

“The real issue is that the Democratic party, including Hillary’s part of it...”

While I’m not shocked and surprised at the Supreme’s decision, I am shocked and surprised at the shock and surprise of those who seem stunned at the decision.

What does the attitude of the 1990's have to do with today? 1990s Republicans would’ve drubbed out anyone with Trump’s viewpoints, and anybody who says the stuff MTG and others say on a daily basis would’ve had their careers ended. The internet, social media, and activist news has radicalized people to a degree that…

Without a Constitutional right, abortion will at best just flip back and forth between legal and not legal every time the party in power switches. At worst, SCOTUS will eventually just rule the federal government has no say or that it’s entirely illegal nationwide.

Motherfucker would vote to segregate his own drinking fountain if it pleased his GOP masters.

That’s all I remember about Jezebel and other Gawker Media (circa that timeframe) websites. There was even an infamous Deadspin article with the list of writers saying that the election didn’t really matter or they would/might vote for Clinton but here’s all the criticisms and why others shouldn’t bother. This was…

Federal legislation that would’ve been undone by the first Republican majority and then Roe would’ve been dead in the courts anyway because the Democrats admitted it wasn’t a fundamental right, but something that could’ve been legislated.

8 years of Obama and relative comfort did give us a bunch of morons that thought that he wasn’t doing anything. 4 years later, we know exactly how much he did.

If you didn’t vote for Hillary you are responsible for this court and this decision. We all knew electing Trump meant a right wing reactionary Supreme Court. 

Yep. You can’t write about the fall of Roe without talking about the part that modern feminists played in it. The Bernie obsession in 2016 is one part, the other being how they neglected abortion rights and took them for granted, instead focusing on other superfluous fights while conservatives played the long game.

Jezebel is not as much to blame as the other websites, but I’m totally not enjoying all the smug takes from the people that got us here in the first place.

It’s very weird to see Jezebel rewrite it’s attitude to the 2016 elections. Most of the writers have left now, but this site was decidedly anti Hillary Clinton.

This isn’t a facetious question, what lesson were we supposed to have learned? I keep hearing that people would vote for candidates that excite them, but what does that mean at a national level? The country is a lot more conservative than a lot people on this site seem to realize. 

You know what else is bad for abortion rights? More Republicans. Why are you rooting so hard for the Democrats to fail if you want abortion rights?

What’s worse is that when Republicans are in power they are never, ever pressed by media on either side to cooperate with Democrats. The media as a whole assumes that Democrats must get permission from Republicans to do anything, but Republicans are just allowed to do whatever they want with whatever power they can…
