Hillary Clinton warns birth control is ‘next’ after Alabama IVF ruling - Lemmy.World

Hillary Clinton is warning about the legality of birth control in the wake of a decision by the Alabama Supreme Court that found frozen embryos created through fertility treatments are children under state law. “They came for abortion first. Now it’s [in vitro fertilization], and next it’ll be birth control,” the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee and secretary of State said in a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. “The extreme right won’t stop trying to exert government control over our most sacred personal decisions until we codify reproductive freedom as a human right,” Clinton added.

“That’s why I’m pushing for an actual democratic primary and supporting progressive populist candidates and their broadly approved policies such as minimum wage increases and universal health care,” Ms Clinton did not add to her remarks.

Bernie didn’t win the 2020 primaries, get over it. Like him or not , Biden was the one who defeated Trump, and he’s in a decent position to do so again.

Sanders would’ve beat Trump in 2016, could’ve done it in 2020 and could do it now.

He’s the most liked politician in America, respected across the aisle, and gets standing ovation from Fox News Town Halls, because even if they disagree with his ideas, even your rank and file Republican can see he means well and is genuine.

2016 Bernie got sandbagged. Elites thought Status Quo would stem off populist rage, never looking at any cause of why there’s so much populism on all sides. It must be the candidates right? Its definitely not that 80% of the country still hasn’t bounced back from 2008, the news lies to us everyday and half the populace wants to fix it (left, which is in reality, center right) and the other half are a mix of accelerationists whive lost faith in change (justifiably) and want it to all burn down and opportunists (neo-nazi’s, fascists, and authoritarian theocrats - one big group that collectively, to the shame of their mothers, needs to learn to mind their own fucking business and stop trying to tell people what to do). 2020 was performance for Bidens cabinet from the start, it was suuuuuper obvious by the media’s handling he came pre coronated. I say this as someone who likes Biden. He’s been a stand-up family man his whole life and he’s pivoted away from corporate interests towards the people’s, not as much as I’d like, and it’s about 40 years late, but I like that it’s happening.

I wouldn’t mind Shawn Fein for 2028, especially if he pulls off a general strike on mayday, mid campaign. He’d be a fucking LEGEND then.

It also doesn’t help that when Bernie looked to have the lead “suddenly” all the so-called “LibErAl MeDiA” decided to run story after story about “Bernie loves Castro!” “Bernie said nice things about communism in Cuba!” “Bernie loves Cuba!”

CNN cut Bernie off at a rally to show 45min of an empty podium, until Trump started. Trump was on time btw, CNN just thought an empty podium was better for democracy than Bernie’s campaign.

I haven’t watched, or clicked on anything CNN since. I hope their pundits and their CSuite all end up homeless.

Unfortunately they have gotten even worse as the heads of the corporation have been quoted as saying something to the effect of “Fox news actually has a great model to emulate, they have actual journalism (try to hold the vomit) between all opinion shows.”

They want to be another fox news…

Biden had our help in 2020 because some of us believed he was willing to compromise with leftists and progressives. Four years later we know he isn’t. I won’t be voting for Biden again. I will be voting 3rd party or a write in.

Aren’t you the kind of person who blamed “bernie bros” for Hillary’s loss in 2016? Can’t have it both ways my dude.

What you say…and your conclusion

Do not meet in reality.

Biden has moved the Dems left. He’s more left than Clinton or Obama were. He walked a picket line for fucks sake, first president ever.

Does he have more room on the left to move too? Shit, he’s got as far as the eye can see, but hes panned further left than he even campaigned on. Saying otherwise is disingenuous, so much so, that I don’t think you voted for him at all.

He walked a picket line for fucks sake, first president ever.

When I say “compromise with leftists and progressives” you think walking on a picket line is sufficient? No. That’s pathetic. Here’s some real compromises to be made:

  • Don’t block strikes. Vow to veto any attempts to block a rail strike in his next term.
  • Stop sending weapons to Israel.

    • Saying otherwise is disingenuous, so much so, that I don’t think you voted for him at all.

    You gave a pathetic example that did not have any meaningful impact on the lives of Americans. The UAW was already on strike and well on their way to getting what they were fighting for. Showing up to a picket line doesn’t make up for blocking the rail strike.

    I’m not sure if you’ve noticed but Biden’s approval ratings are way down since he was elected. If you think I’m just some troll fine. Whatever. But I gotta wonder where you believe the people who did vote for him and disapprove of his actions are voicing those opinions? Or do you just accuse everyone who says they aren’t voting for him again of being a troll?

    Like him or not , Biden was the one who defeated Trump

    Did he? I’m still seeing a ton of his policies enforced at the federal level.
