I blame George HW Bush, George W Bush, and Trump!

These three presidents selected the Supreme Court Justices that overturned a woman's right to choice.

Democrats need to stop blaming members of their own party! It's divisive and now more than ever we need to stick together.

Among other people.

More than 4 people are responsible for this.

The majority of white women voted for Trump too. Just that alone would have changed the outcome of an election. I don't dwell on all the what if's, it is still the fault of those three presidents, Mitch McConnell and the Supreme court.

that claim to be progressive but help republicans get in power need to be exposed.

you don't dwell on how this happened and what contributed to it. I find it constructive to understand those factors.

12. So you think it is due to more than just the 5 or 6 you named? That's progress.

I don't know how to get the majority of white women to vote D, but a way to get a whole lot more to vote D than did before is to take away their right to abortion and contraception.

brought up the subject on being constructive. I gave one example why we lost that election to Trump, I'm sure there are more. I asked what constructive ways are we going to do to get the people to vote Democratic.

13. I blame Gore v Bush

They said all votes don't have to be counted. Gore was probably going to win.

The irony is that SDO sided with the majority to stop the vote count. Her real legacy, other than being the first woman on the court, was that she sided with the majority in Casey to uphold Roe.

But really if Al Gore had embraced the record of Bill Clinton and let him campaign, he would have won.

I'm full of blame. My wife and daughter are pissed (I am too). But this is personal for them. They want to know how we got to this point. But I guess it goes back further when people decided they would vote against their best interest for anti-abortion candidates.
