And that's if you believe the Dems truly want to protect abortion. I would wager that certain segments of the party don't want these issues settled because cultural wedge issues are the only things that fundamentally differentiate them from Republicans.

Nfoitu explained it to you. If people didn't stay home in 2016 and Clinton won... This wouldn't have happened. Should have voted harder then.


The rest of your complaints are just about the US system which isn't going to change. So I agree it sucks, but it isn't going to change.

That leaves changing minds regarding abortion, which could happen. But it's not going to happen if you are so rigid in everything meeting your standard that you are perceived as unreasonable.
