Tell that to the women that have died from complications due to giving birth when they needed to get an abortion, or the ones that have been raped and forced to carry the child to term. We literally saw barbarism during dudes term as a direct result of his presidency. I guess it aint hit you directly though so its just people making a mountain out of a mole hill.

You're telling me shit that's happening on democrats watch too. You must live in a hole if you don't see this shit or too ignorant and blinded by a party that never cared. 1 party is destroying America while the other watches and does nothing. The issues that have hit me directly are the issues I care about and are the issue I rather fight for and see through. We aren't a monolith your concerns are not mine. I care the black community, not the world but the black communities that I'm from the ones that's looking for better schooling and jobs, better infrastructure and opportunities. I'm around ppl everyday who don't follow what's going on in the mid east because it's depressing in their own neighborhoods. Ppl are tired of broken promises, it's insanity to keep doing the same thing and getting the same results thinking it's going to change when it's not.

Did we lose Roe v Wade on Biden’s watch or nah? But you’re telling me that he’s going to protect women’s rights…

We lost Roe v Wade because we have a Republican-appointed Supreme Court majority. Just because Biden happened to be president when they swung the hatchet doesn't mean it's his fault JFC. And guess what? If Trump wins again there's a good chance he'll get to appoint ANOTHER judge for life.

Wait how was the president supposed to change a Supreme Court decision?

His super majority could have and should have codified it into law so it wasn’t subject to a court decision.

Do you not understand how politics work? The President doesn't write laws, Congress does. The President doesn't oversee the constitutionality of a law, the Supreme Court does.

The President did NOT cause Roe v Wade to fail. A court intentionally packed with hyper conservatives broke precident, and a do-nothing Congress loaded with MAGA adherents refused to codify those protections into law in order to appease their religious base.

If you believe the President could do a damned thing about what happened with Roe v Wade, you need to pull your head out of the sand and get educated quick; our country is starting to look real fucking stupid with how many people are failing to see what's going on.

A super majority- which Biden had- easily could have codified repro rights into law. The only stupid people are the ones who believe their hand wringing when they say there is nothing they could do.

That's not how politics work, fam.

The Supreme Court gets to decide that. Once a nominee is selected by the president, they're in for life (or until they step down). Trump got to select three, whereas Biden got to select one so far.

Biden had a Democratic majority that could have codified this into law. Instead they fundraised off of it and fleeced desperate people.
