"Just not THAT woman", they shouted.
That lifelong champion of women & children's rights knew then what was all on the line.

We had ONE chance to secure the SC. Sarandon & tribe used their celebrity & cried, mmm..naaah. Not HER! Just not HER.
"They're both the sssaaaame"



The great revoluuuushun fucked up.
Where are they now? Where's Jill PutinStein?
Prob blaming Obama & Biden & Pelosi & Schumer 🙄.

Generations of clawing a line in the sand for women's rights will be lost on a bunch of social media mouths who grew up with priviledges gained by the efforts of those before them.
YET, when It came their time in 2016, to carry that hard earned torch forward... they said...ummm..naaahh..cuz a famous multi-millionare social media political celebs told us "they're both the same!"

"But..but..why won't Biden FIX THIS?!"

The stupid, it burns...

the 2016 theft allowed to stand?

The rot is very very deep in our govt. I sure hope that our Democratic lawmakers are digging it out and planning to put them in steel cages because, otherwise, our country has no chance of survival.

I still csnnot believe dump is walking around a free man, as are ALL of the 1/6 backers of the insurrection, while people of color are slaughtered by police for doing nothing wrong, or very minimal offenses.

Justice needs to be just, not favorable only to the rich, white old men.

And Putin needs to be put in his place. Let your imagination wander...

Should we lose Roe v Wade, it will be just another chapter that was handed away because someone never had to fight for years just to have that human right in the 1st place.

I am sick from seeing so much ignorance~

I pity the generations of women & girls & their children to come, who will succomb to the absolute foolishness of this bunch of social media celeb wannabees, complete with private funded PACS.

5 years in and their sorry records speak for their worth.
They have all wasted what was handed them by the generations before.
These selfish promenading posers have what plan to hold the line or fix the damage for basic women's rights from here on? What are they saying?
Not one damned word. Nothing.

Either they don't get the magnitude of what's coming or they're too self involved to even give it a thought.

Pisses me off. I worry for the young girls today who expected to grow into womenhood with the same equal & human rights the priviledged few who dropped the ball in 2016, enjoy.

I'm sure this bunch will find some Established Democrat to lay the blame on.
Just never themselves. We needed the SC strengthened, and what we have today is the result of their selfish promenading.

9. To think of what recent history and a very uncertain future have turned on is frightening, appalling

and nauseating. Different methods in 2000 and 2016, but in both cases, major setbacks have been the result. There is an AWFUL lot riding on President Biden's Presidency and the 2022 midterms.
