“The president has been adamant that we need to restore Roe. It is unfathomable that women today wake up in a country with less rights than their ancestors had years ago,” Fulks said.

Biden has been poised to run on what has been described as the strongest abortion rights platform of any general election candidate as he and his allies look to notch a victory in the first presidential election since Roe v. Wade was overturned in 2022.

Last month, Biden seized on a case in Texas, where a woman, Kate Cox, was denied an abortion despite the risk to her life posed by her pregnancy.

“No woman should be forced to go to court or flee her home state just to receive the health care she needs,” Biden said of the case. “But that is exactly what happened in Texas thanks to Republican elected officials, and it is simply outrageous. This should never happen in America, period.”

Lieberman was an independent at the time. For fuck's sake, if you're going to turf, at least get some of facts right.

Hmm? Lieberman wasnt who i was talking about my good man. Cmon, which Democrat, who was previously an insurance executive, blocked the public option? This info should be enough for you to Google their names.

I know this because i was there! See, back then i believed in, voted for, and even donated to the DNC! I have been watching a long time!

(Or i have been studying in a special putin camp where they teach 'turfers to know the history of your country's politics b/c i am a Russia astroturfer)

Or maybe, I'm a good ol American who is actually a trumpet in disguise! Maybe i really love trump but unlike most magats im kinda good at talking so they made me a liason to trick only the dumbest democrats! Only the dumbest of course, because the smartest of you guys immediately smell out any dissidents and call them 'turfers.

We Magats didn't make a very smart plan in that case, but what do you expect? We are dumb haha.

Which of the two am i? Definitely i am not who i have consistently said i am.

Definitely i am not an embittered ex-democrat who went hard for bernie and watched my own party crush him (oops thats a different 'turfers job, sorry Vladmir)

Definitely im not a real person trying to figure out what to do in a country i feel doesn't listen to me, or really any of us... definitely not losing hope some days.... Definitely i don't think to myself some days about the dichotomy of feeling when i post:

how much i want you to believe this is happening so i can have an ally, maybe one more person to see what it happening, vs. how little i want you to believe my message. Since even if i convinced you, id feel bad about the stress and pain you were about to go thru (the same i have been in since my realization). How little i wish that feeling of powelessness on anyone! I hate this feeling! I have no answers, only the black void of reality to share with you... Im fine that you don't believe, especially since i have no answers on what we should do next. If what im saying is true, you'll figure it out on your own time anyway.

If i were you, id rather believe i was a turfer too. See yah around comrade
