    you need to practice silence, do not speak from ignorance. “Where and when are enough people coming together to say they want” through polls and protests it’s very clear what people want, and elementary to demonstrate a lack of democrats’ fulfillment. democrat voters want abortion legalized federally, they wanted it fucking decades ago, what have the democrats done besides let roe die during their control?

      You’re rather illustrating my point. Abortion should absolutely be legal, and the majority do seem to want it (though I fear that might be eroded as the hard-right brain rot spreads), but not enough people were making a fuss about it loudly enough until it was too late. By that I mean there needed to be massive protests about it from the moment people started caring about it to the moment the relevant legislation was passed. Continuous vigilance is also needed to avoid that being later eroded. Unfortunately none of that happened in sufficient numbers.

      The difficulty is, of course, that most people don’t care about this sort of thing until it affects them directly, and those who do care get exhausted trying to make it happen without the numbers needed.

      Given the current reality though, what would you, personally suggest people should do, and what do you anticipate the result would be?
