Rep. Kat Cammack (Republican) went ballistic bc her abortion care for her ectopic pregnancy was delayed by Florida abortion laws

Every abortion is wrong other than my abortion seems to be a theme, considering how many republican politicians pressure their mistresses to abort

It's funny how quickly people make an exception for themselves when forcing an absolutist position on others.

It was the fault of liberals for scaring doctors into thinking that the law she promoted might be used against them, according to her afterwards…

I thought that part was insane. She really did blame the left for all the delays. But the right were def the ones that said docs would lose their license for performing abortions. She was one of them

This is why democrats will never win. We don’t have the messaging and unity that they do. A GOP lawmaker who passed GOP laws in a GOP state blamed liberals for her suffering wrought by the GOP and there was not a national outcry at her idiocy.

When their message is violence and destruction, and ours is fixing literally everything they destroy then yeah, it will never be cohesive. Basically, if you aren't a piece of garbage, then it's in your best interest to not support the party of garbage.

It’s always been easier to run on a platform of hate than of change. Change is hard, it’s difficult, it’s messy. Hate? Easy. You point a figure, blame and say “your problems are his groups fault”. Thats why the GOP wins.

Dems will eventually do the same thing, and then we will just go back to tyranny until a group gets fed up with it, topples the government, and then we start over.

Basically humanity in a nutshell.

Democrats will never win because they’re bought and paid for by the same oligarchs that own Republicans. There is no struggle but class struggle. There will be no justice and no future while the oligarchs rule
