    Except because it was Democrats who actively did something, Republicans get to turn the narrative on them.

    “Never do anything. Think of what Republicans might say.”

        This plan would not have worked.

        Centrists say that about any plan that isn’t “move to the right.”

          Roll it back to earlier in the discussion. People use this as a talking point for why you shouldn’t bother voting for Democrats, “because they didn’t pass a law protecting abortion rights”. That’s dumb. It wouldn’t have done shit, and is a bad reason to let Republicans take control of everything. That’s what I’m replying to.

            Yeah. We should leave letting Republicans control everything to the Democrats we elect.
