@NickyFrank30 Obergefell was possible because a Democratic president nominated two supreme court justices.
Just like Roe was overturned because a Republican president nominated three.
@trouble_man90 They always gloss over the part where fascists could have been denied power in the first place with a simple vote. Trump would have been a history book footnote if 30k people had voted in 2016.
Libertarians believe every transaction is voluntary, including paying a landlord half your income because the alternative is sleeping in your fucking car.
@davidsirota The conditions that led to Trump were a shifting racial demographic and the election of a black man for president. That's it.
The idea that some dirt poor white guy in Alabama secretly wants socialism and will keep voting for Republicans until he gets it is pure fantasy.
@dasmadchengyal You have no idea what you're talking about. If you are actually interested in the Herculean effort it took to pass the ACA check this out. Starts at 1:28:10 to 1:43:30.

@barrykane760 Exactly. The far left and far right fundamentally do not believe in pluralism and democracy, because that means letting someone who is "wrong" have a seat at the table.
