It's magically even worse than that.

How could a state both turnout to enshrine abortion into the state constitution AND go Republican?

That's a whole new level of dumb I didn't know existed

Because like the comic is pointing out as the issue and that OP has just done that exact thing - steering the conversation of topic away from the focus.

In a discussion about women by a woman, it sounds crazy but maybe they want the focus to be on women. That doesn't mean men issues don't matter or don't exist. There are an infinite number of venues to discuss it that are not in a thread regarding women issues.

Roe v Wade still existed in less contentious times.

Lebanon has a government and an army that is not Hezbollah. They do not want Hezbollah's presence in Lebanon either. Which is why you do not hear the Lebanese government denouncing or opposing Israel's actions. You don't see them going to the UN or the US telling them to stop Israel.

Just because you don't approve of their government and response doesn't mean you can just dismiss it.

Hezbollah has invaded Israel's space with their rockets

If it was possible for terrorists to explode cell phones in the US they would have already done so.

There is no way to distinguish those arguing in good faith vs those who are trolling or arguing in bad faith, because all those parties use the same flawed arguments.

Just assume everyone making those arguments are just Maga trolls trying to siphon votes away from democrats. Saves your sanity

If Obama didn't push for ACA, we would not be at this point we are now. Even if he did not succeed to get everyone on board, he moved the needle. The conversion is steering in the right direction.

And like the other replier said, the president sets the guidance for congress and their party. They make it clear what they want to pass and what won't pass, then congress will work towards those goals/ compromises. Ex, If the president clearly indicates she is pro choice, any anti abortion legislation is going to be vetoed so no one is spending political capital trying to push for it, grandstand aside.

The single full time employee is the lead or manager. They have some number of contractors to work with but aren't headcount.

The entire premise is BS because Biden has a list of accomplishments from infrastructure to debt forgiveness, progressive drug guidance, progress in gender/race equality, departments like the ftc and irs being competently run again with actual resources, to judge appointments. Hmm I wonder to who's benefit it is to ignore all that and label him "not Trump"?
