    Yeah how dare Obama use the miniscule window in which he had a hypothetically filibuster proof majority to do something as pointless as passing laws that stop the healthcare system from being exponentially worse than it currently is, which also required employers to provide reproductive care access before SCOTUS struck that down.

    Gotta love the porcelain americans trying to gaslight victims over how it’s actually your fault they don’t do the miniscule thing that could minimize how shit your life is for at least a little while, and that next time you should make sure they feel pandered to enough before you do something so entitled as asking them for a crumb of that solidarity they go on about when they’re lecturing you about whatever self righteous cause they’re on today.

    Allies like you are why CEOs can get away with disrupting union formation by recruiting more PoC and queer folks.

    Edit: Fragile white folks complaining that porcelain americans is racist because it makes fun of how fragile they are will never stop being funny. Keep on keepin’ on Mr. “I’m totally not Commie’s alt account.”

      Obama would’ve had a wider window if he actually delivered on his campaign promises, because then people would actually turn up to vote since they’d feel their vote actually mattered. No, instead he used that time to bail out the bankers who caused the global financial crisis. I have no idea what you’re blabbering about with pandering, since this is about reproductive rights, something you were shrieking about just a second ago, but now that I pointed out democrats could’ve done something about it, you say that other things are more important and that it’s somehow pandering. Also, what are you talking about “your fault”? I didn’t say it was your fault, I said it was the fault of the politicians holding the power. You know, because they hold the power.

      By the way, please stop using “porcelain americans” to refer to white people, it is racist. I was giving you the benefit of the doubt, but you seem like a troll trying to get a rise out of people. You cannot seriously talk about divisiveness letting CEOs get away with things while you use such divisive language.
