(3,725 posts)Much rather have a D in that seat than a R regardless of every single issue he stands for. Sometimes a big tent is good.

(4,162 posts)88% of Democratic voters support gay marriage. I'm not exactly happy about that, but I sure hope that that 12% who don't support my right to marry the man whom I love don't stay home when it's time to vote.

IMO "pro-life" isn't about abortion, Life, or babies. It's about punishment and slavery.

(2,612 posts)They show plastic babies for developmental stages that are in reality bits of tissue or that still look like fish. They make up lies they know are lies and they just carry on like they have their stupid moral high ground. On any nuanced issue they just lie to support their false moral high ground.
For years they said, "We would never criminalize care or prevent a doctor from saving a woman's life." The moment they could they criminalized care and started preventing doctors from practicing life saving medicine for women. There is no stand they take that is built on truth. They also said, "We would never force a woman to raise a rapists baby." Also a lie.
I can understand the ones that care and care for living children in the general populace. There are also those who have been fooled by the persistent lies. Sad to be them, but their vote hurts society, women and children.

We need every vote in 2029 to first, expand the court, then codify Roe (among many other things).
