What a sad state this country is coming to. We deserve affordable access to safe healthcare. Abortion is healthcare!
People deserve what they vote for. And unfortunately this is what a lot of Americans want.
The general public doesn’t vote in the supreme justices, who were the ones that decided to abolish roe v wade. Trump put in 3 justices to the Supreme Court. What we fail to recognize is the long game the extreme conservatives have been playing for decades now to have these policies removed or passed. When it comes to people voting for Trump, numerous reports have stated how during the 2016 election Trump lost the popular vote and became President due to the electoral college voting him in. This also doesn’t consider the very real issue of voter suppression and Gerrymandering in the US.
This is the truth of it. A lot of people simply don't vote, especially young people. So the old conservative times have more power, because they do vote.
I'm in my 30s but half the people I know love to complain, but won't ever vote. Because it's inconvenient for them.
Over 90 million eligible voters didn't turn up in 2016. 90,000,000. 42%
This is what they voted for.
Liberals won the popular vote in 6 of the past 7 elections. This isn't what they voted for.
Way less people want this than this comment implies.. 73% of Americans support abortion early, and it gets a little foggier the further you go.
Republicans just have rigged things so that it requires much more effort to defeat their bullshit.
The GOP has lost the popular vote in 6 of the past 7 elections. These people don't have popular support, just a logistical advantage.
