See? I keep telling everyone that young women are going to save us. They are not in the polls because they don't fall into the "likely voter" class.
That being said:
#VOTE!
Inflation has fucked all of us without personal reserves of wealth... Despite this, abortion is absolutely the #1 issue. It just goes to show how fucked up this country has become under Trump.
In case anyone is confused, abortion was made illegal in many states 100% because of Trump. He fucking did that.
The grand majority of Americans opposed the overturning of Roe v. Wade, but Trump personally installed unqualified judges that were directly tasked with this abominable decision.
What? People with no wealth or in debt have benefited from higher wages
Only people with savings are negatively affected
I note that positive growth in "real earnings" is highly correlated with republican presidencies.
I can't wait for you to tell us where you got this chart.
I always appreciate it when people screenshot tables with no attribution. 🙄
It's actually more correlated with Democrat presidents, inflation too high under Trump, economy shit under Bush
Well, that’s good. We’re still in great danger of things turning out badly, but here’s a glimmer of hope.
I hope those women know how important it is to vote. I won't be surprised if they don't as a whole... Young people are often bad at turning out for elections.
Old people seem to never miss them, and they aren't the ones that inherit the consequences of these elections. This us a big reason why everything is so fucked up here.
I stand by my idea to subtract 18 years from the national life expectancy and disenfranchise voters at that age. Might even get us some legislation to provide healthcare to move that number higher to preserve the right to vote longer.
Great, as long as they all get out to vote!
That's a two-fold depressing headline for any progressive voter.
"We got all these major issues we need fixing. Health, education, economic inequality, social division..."
"Yeah, so what's being done about them?"
"Well, lots of people are voting progressively for abortion rights."
"Fuck. That's too?"
Abortion is healthcare for women tho.
Exactly right, Joe.
Ladies, how do you feel about Competency and Maturity?
Pretty shitty actually, especially when politicians don't think we have the maturity and competency to manage our own heath care.
How do you feel about Competency and Maturity?
People can be trusted to make their own decisions in life
