Well it isn’t the economy stupid

Nobody has to explain their view on abortion to have one opinion or the other. This is how the issue should be resolved and from 30,000 feet, as they like to say, it appears the issue of abortion played a large role in the outcome. That's fair if one decides to vote on one issue and that issue alone, I have no problem with one voting their conscience.


What I'm having a problem understanding is that 75% of public when asked, say that the country is moving in the wrong direction but they just put the same people who got us here, moving in the wrong direction, back in office because abortion was more important than any other issue.


So be it.


Now we'll watch the border get even worse if that is even possible. We'll see crime get worse since the criminals did very well this election cycle and we can look forward to many more Drag Queen Happy Hours in our elementary schools and continue to see the genital mutilation of very confused children.


Joe Biden just said he isn't going to change a single thing he is doing and "obviously" ( Biden says ) when people really see what we are doing, they agree with what we are doing.



So Joe Biden is now as delusional as he was the day he took office and those people in New York city and Los Angeles, will get exactly what they deserve.

Only a "stupid" person would view abortion and the economy as a separate issue. However I am enjoying all the whining and crying over yet another fascist conservative loss. Rather than reflecting on why they keep losing, they just continue to finger point and throw tantrums as HeneedsadickForever just demonstrated

the example you cite is so negligible to the overall economy as to be completely unrelated. the overall economic status, growth and inflation, etc have nothing to do with your example. unless you think you can show stats to prove there are millions of rape victims per year in the US resulting in hundreds of thousands of pregnancies which you can't possibly do.



you "might" make a case that there is an economic impact to unwanted pregnancies "IF" you can prove there is no possible path for abortion at all anywhere in the US as a result of Roe V Wade being overturned which you also can't prove.



you are conflating two unrelated issues. while you might make a case where unwanted pregnancies have an economic impact on social services and related costs, that subject is still completely unrelated to economic growth.

Is making criminals the victims instead of the actual victims fair?

There are hundreds of more examples of why I will not vote for any current Democrats. The Democratic Party wholly and solely have turned the USA into a country of runny nosed brats.

as i've noted, i'm pro-choice and one reason is exactly this. regardless of the fact someone should be smart enough to use birth control in the first place, if some woman does get pregnant they should consider the financial impact and if it's clear they can't properly support a child they should consider an abortion. if their morals and/or religious views conflict, they can put the child up for adoption.


abortion as a campaign issue has nothing to do with the economy as a campaign issue. they are completely unrelated beyond that.
The real question is what do voters think of the NEW fucked up gop. Obviously not so much. The desantis trumpy turtle gop and their divided follows are amusing as fuck though. The only thing missing is senator of the United States WALKER

Some of you seem better suited for the Taliban than capitalism. The basis of any sustainable economic model is fairness and trust in the rules. That and imho it involves staying out of peoples business and letting them handle it themselves and protect them from people that would interfere or press their rules on them.



An enlightened and functional government would seek a technological solution to the question of abortion. The republicans were smart enough to know the strength of their hand and use the issue to get their supernatural base worked up just enough but not actually press it home. Then McConnell and his stooge Rump came along.

We're basically saying the same thing...I'm just carrying out the effect further...imho valued poster.
