Yeah, especially all those democratic lawmakers who are women of child bearing age. They clearly put their own fund raising OVER THEIR OWN BODIES… /s
I promise you that very many Democrats in office do in fact give a shit about women’s human rights and aren’t just asking for funds to line their own fucking pockets. The reality is that the current system we have requires fund raising, and frankly, I’d rather as much as that as possible come from the voters rather than corporations. If you want to argue that the system should be changed, then that’s one thing that many of us would certainly agree with you on. But if you’re calling out all the Democrats who are running and need to raise money to run their campaigns in the current system, then it’s ignoring a whole bunch of reality there. Marx said:
Men make their own history, but they do not make it as they please; they do not make it under self-selected circumstances, but under circumstances existing already, given and transmitted from the past. The tradition of all dead generations weighs like a nightmare on the brains of the living.
In other words, we don’t get to just ignore reality and substitute our own. This is the system we have to work within, and yes it needs radical change, but that won’t happen IF WE KEEP HAVING THE GOP RUN SHIT…
