Amazing you eveb defend Biden and those who were in tears when he was inaugurated. And now he is removing womens rights and you still defend him.
Shame on you!
You know, I don't agree with all politicians and what they believe and are trying to do. It would be unhealthy if I did tbh. It is right and liberal to choose to disagree.
As Biden himself said during his inauguration speech. It wasn't about voting for the candidate but about ultimately democracy in the end. Even Pence acknowledged that in his own way even though he clearly isn't a Democrat.
Woman's Rights were and would have been eroded under Trump in different ways. Under Biden they are suffering in different ways.
HOWEVER in supporting Biden you are crucially supporting the institutions and principles which allow dissent and to ultimately in time argue the case, once again, for women's rights. That we have to do this, is something that is outrageous and frustrating, however there is the ability to.
And I do think that when the Executive Order is tested in the court, which it will be - either for gross medical negligance or for being effectively unconstitutional that things will shift. Especially if the ground work for that is laid in the rest of the world.
Biden isn't a saint. There are definitely massive issues with areas of Democratic Policy and have been for years. However its the best option and the alternative would have been the rest of authoritarianism and mass exploitation and abuses of rights on a whole different level.
I cried with relief (when Harris not Biden) was sworn in, because that meant that future isn't happening any time soon, and the focus can be on other issues which are costing lives right now and gives hope that things will work out in time.
If that brings me shame then so be it. I, however, think it means that I can see past one issue politics and past personalities to the whole picture and I understand what was at stake.
If Trump had been pro-democracy, not racist, not a conman and crook, not a man who incites violence and had been genuinely pro-women's rights, then maybe you'd have had a point. However Trump was Trump so you don't and you are just looking for cheap little 'gotchas' to take a swipe so you can 'win' on the internet.
And thats how we ended up with QAnon and fake news in the first place, because people were so flaming one dimensional.
