    Why does this meme depict the saving of abortion rights by voting for Harris (again)?

    Because the more Democratic presidental terms there are the more nominees can reach the supreme court to overturn. Roe was overturned precisely because Republicans played that game of getting more judges on the bench

    Additionally more dems in power increases the chance of a legislative victory on the issue

    What “objective” measure implies Democrats are less hostile to BLM?

    Listen to any Republican ever talk about BLM or make policy against “critical race theory” or “woke”.

      Black Americans somehow live with equality, let alone dignity, in Democrat-run cities?

      Blacks should see a widespread endorsement of genocide and conclude BLM is legitimate concern for establishment Democrats?

      Why ignore this?

        That isn’t me ignoring your point.

        One of the parties declared open hostilities towards blm/crt/“woke” including via legislation. All of which they use to denounce black rights or history in some way.

        On that measure Democrats are less hostile and it’s an important one. You need to teach about the oppression to do anything about it

          The heart of your logic enables true evil.

          Do you think a person should excuse their partner’s abuse, because a previous partner was more abusive?

          Why do you imply more importance for the recognition of “improvement” than a recognition and rejection of abuse in general?
