Its funny also cause liberals lost mostly to independent’s i remember watching the votes come in, it was glorious

Eh, if she does I haven’t seen it. She’s a bit niced than Trump and Biden. She’ll send foreign governments money to blow up babies while pretending to care about civilian casualties. She let those Black men and women get sent to jail, while using her status as a black woman to score points later on.

Now we’re being told by white women that we need to vote for her at all costs to save their reproductive rights, even though her president did nothing to Roe v. Wade from overturned

People said the same about Biden. They thought they’d have a better chance of pushing him left. Boy were they wrong.

It’s not just white women. Black women’s reproduction rights are also at risk. The black women en masse are asking Americans to understand nuance and not have misogynoir.

Being racially prejudiced is a bad take, punishing a subset of women with loss of rights is also a bad take.

“Why didn’t Biden overturn Roe vs Wade?”

Such an ignorant comment.

He doesn’t have the authority. Remember it was Trump’s nomination of Amy Coney Barret to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg that allowed Roe vs Wade to be overturned in the first place, and your bs American system where Supreme Court members can hold office till die, is what is making it hard to reinstate abortion rights as federal law. The president doesn’t have the authority to challenge the Supreme Court, but they can use thier special powers or whatever they have so there’s still a chance Kamala is willing to go that route. But to make any kind of changes a majority blue congress will help with that, that’s why the blue vote matters.

The only people who can reinstate woe vs wade is the Supreme Court. The president can’t bully the court into overturning it. And that’s a route no one wants a president going down anyway.

You’re just a few short steps from a dictatorship at that point

“Dems not being able to stop the Republicans from doing godawful things means they’re both exactly the same” is a really dumb take and I say that as someone with many gripes with the Dems

That was not my take. I’ve watched so many Dem presidents not be able to act due to Congress. It’s a broken system you have down there I’m just offering perspective.

Being able to properly fly on regular mounts is amazing. Genuinely I think I would’ve stayed with DF longer if I could’ve rocketed through the isles on Heidi my trusty plaguebat. Navigating that round boi bioweapon like she’s a leaf on the wind is wildly entertaining.

Also nice to have the same on flight form. I pretty much immediately b-lined it to Gilneas to zoom through the gloomy Not London skies and ominously perch on stuff as a raven.

They’re still working out some kinks though. Landing in water in travel form is pretty awkward as it’s difficult to get enough air quickly enough to prevent immediately becoming a sabrewalrus again.

Democrats tend to get in their own way.

I remember in the first days of the first term of President Obama the Democrats had full control of both houses and the pen… and they couldn’t hold it together long enough to do anything.

Preaching to the choir…

It’s been that way all during DF. Stuff like that is considered a feature…

Happy you are enjoying yourself. I’m not looking forward to having to jump through a hoop to get back to a flightform that doesn’t give me a headache, and no unlike the blizz apologists like to claim, those adjustment features don’t fix anything for me.

I like to think I’m a pretty moderate libertarian. I’m all too aware how broken the US goverment is and how much dirty money is the hands of corrupt politicians on BOTH sides of the isle.

Both sides are terrible and the two party system needs to be done away with in my opinion. There’s a lot of good third party candidates that will never see the White House because the big corporations won’t allow their monopoly to end

No Biden refused to pack the Court in order to make sure there wouldn’t be a conservative majority.

Also which is it? Either The president is weak and can’t do anything to stop the other side, or Trump must be stopped at all costs from winning because he’ll easily become a dictator. You can’t have it both ways.

You do understand that there’s actual LAWS that limit the scope of what the president can and can not do right?

Take it up with the goverment and the people who wrote the laws in the U.S. I don’t make the rules. I just pointed out that only the Supreme Court can undo their own decision

You know what’s funny to me? Harris has a real chance to be the first female president.

And absolutely no one is talking about it.

A few years back that would have been a huge selling point, but now we’re freaking out and stressing over so many other things that it is genuinely the last thing on anyone’s mind.

Then how would Trump easily become a dictator?

And I’m pointing out Biden has refused to expand the Court, which he can do, an easy way to make sure Roe would stay. Not being able to stop it is bs.

Who said anything about Trump being a dictator? Again, I merely pointed out that a president doesn’t have the power to bully the Supreme Court.

So, not really sure why you’re hung about trump being a dictator for

It’s one of the selling points for which people are guilt-tripping folks into voting for Kamala. It’s been said earlier in this thread.

Those people are idiots. Simple as that. He didn’t become one the first time around, not sure why these same people are claiming it again this time around.

I’m no fan of trump, but I even know when people are being ridiculous with their claims

That was entirely his own decision and not the decision of his party. He is a centrist, he held to his own centrist beliefs not wanting to call out the Supreme Court as iligitimate. Biden was a last ditch effort to sway on the fence republicans to not vote Trump.

It’s not “guilt tripping” asking you to make an informed vote. You claimed in the past to care about marginalized people’s rights. You’ve proven time and time again your activism has limits.

It kinda is though. I’ve seen this nasty game from both parties. Don’t vote trump? You’re a rhino, a traitor, a left leaning commie, etc.

Don’t vote left? You hate women, minorities, etc. I’m soo sick of the games both parties play. It’s tiresome and wish it would stop
