OK this is just my (& others) speculation but you know how it goes: "When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."
Here I'll make my case as to why I think there's a faction of "the left" that are actively working against M4A.
It started maybe a bit before but definitely reared it's ugly head after Biden won in Nov. Now with the Force the Vote, I can see why some people, even though it is a tactic both DSA and AOC called for before, might be wary. No one likes to see their favorite policy voted down.
There is historical precedence as to why the strategy was a good one but those facts were hidden by the attribution of FTV to Dore and this faction of "the left" trying to claim poison fruit because they don't agree with Dore some of his views.
I've been pushing against Joe over the rape because being a survivor I'm compelled to but we do need to keep in mind all the other ways he is a horrible candidate.
He has written and supported racist policy.
He has supported pro-life policy and has voted against Roe.
1/3
He has lied countless times:
Destroyed the man that his wife hit's life saying he was drink...he wasn't.
He plagiarized and stole from speeches.
He lied about marching for civil rights.
He lied about wanting to cut social security.
2/3
He is fine with endless wars making the MIC money.
He is down with fracking & will do the bare minimum about the environment.
He promises to veto M4A because of cost (though he is cozy with private insurance too).
The Women's March does the right thing and liberals are none too happy.
This one is hilarious. I mean the whole reason the Women's March was started was women who were against how Trump treats women as far as I remember. They lost me at corporate sponsorship and pussy hats.
Yeah, 'real' as a word has a meaning and I'm sure you aren't the judge of who was or was not raped...thankfully because, frankly, you really suck at it.
