But a Republican tried to kill another Republican! And an old guy had a cold!

Kamala Harris is also now the only candidate who won't be fucking 80 while in office.

Democrats are never going to codify Roe. Want to know how I know? Because on June 25th 2022 they controlled the presidency, the senate, and the house and Roe still isn't codified. They'll never say it out loud, but the democratic party is happy Roe was overturned because now they get to use it as a fundraising issue forever.

Firstly, the former is not a function of the latter. So it’s not so much “you know” as “making up a reason”.

Secondly, passing a federal law is not like getting a Coke from the vending machine.

Thirdly, this is a common strawman argument to pretend Democrats deliberately don’t care about liberal causes and it’s bullshit. A right-wing talking point. “Clinton had people murdered y’know.” Like that.

Fourthly - yeah, what they said.
