His personal feelings help explain the decisions he made over the years, such as deciding that Anita Hill was a liar
The context does not make it any better. He is stating his sincerely held belief as a conservative Catholic. He is stating his belief that had guided his policymaking for decades. It’s why he was blindsided by the Dobbs decision. Yes, he supports access to abortion, but as the quote shows, it’s always been more about realpolitik than a sincere belief in the right to abortion
Of course Reagan and the Bushes deserve a lot the blame. But none of them are currently president, and Biden built his career on bipartisanship - even more than his democratic peers. He was there at every step that set the stage for Trump’s appointments that were the final nails in the coffin
I’ve never been supportive of, you know, "it’s my body, I can do what I want with it.
Im claiming that Biden spent decades in the senate enabling the radical right’s rise to power. Some of that was from incompetence, some was from anti-Black and anti-arab racism. Some of it was because the neoliberal policies he supports aren’t that different from what ‘fiscal conservatives’ want.
Biden has had a hand in most of the disastrous policies of the last 30 years - from putting sexist pieces of shit in SCOTUS and drastically expanding the prison population, to invading Iraq and drastically expanding the surveillance state.
Are you going to blame Biden for the conservative majority on the Supreme court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson as well?
Do me a favor and google “Anita Hill”. Then google what the chair of the senate judiciary does
You’re advocating for minefields. Sick fuck
LMAO. Reactionary antidemocratic politics in Germany?!🧐 I’m shocked
