Control of the SCOTUS and the future of Roe Vs. Wade was on the ballot in 2016

[LetMyPeopleVote]

Thanks to Jill Stein, Susan Sarandon and the voters who stayed home rather than vote for Hillary, Roe is dead.

1. File under elections have consequences

Even if Jill and Susan don’t see the difference.

The best option is the best choice, especially when it is the only option. Jill Stein is and always has been a joke and now choice is the punchline.

5. Jill Stein and Michael Flynn are traitors.

...snip...
Stein's 2016 campaign was heavily promoted by RT. She hasn't spoken much about the RT dinner, but in an interview with NBC News last fall, she deflected questions about her appearance, instead chastising the U.S. media for not paying attention to her campaign while RT gave it a lot more attention.

4. And the Voting Rights Act is gutted. You'd almost think someone wants women & POC ...

… to know their places. But by golly, we should have stayed in Afghanistan to protect their women and girls.

Personally, I just want to scream and scream and scream. Tears are starting to leak.

Thank you for all the work you do and have done, LMPV. Gotta go.

6. Really? Gee, I thought it was about choosing which national healthcare system

we wanted, A or B. Not about whether to keep or destroy our liberal democracy and along with that whether we should have any rights to healthcare itself. I'm sure we were lead to believe that.

7. Too Bad Democrats Don't Control Government in 2021

10. We don't have complete control...can't do anything about abortion rights. That ship sailed in 2016.

But her emails were so fucking important and all...I mean abortion rights... who cares am I right...

We have limited control...but we could have stopped the court-packing had Hillary won the election. Now we are in trouble in terms of abortion rights, civil rights, and of course voting rights. We have a Republic that is hanging on by a thread.

11. The Dems can roll back all the goop abuses any time they want

Democrats didn't spend time and energy electing Biden and a Democratic majority in both the House and Senate for nothing.

The handful of holdouts just need the political will to do it, and you know whom I'm talking about. It would be a better use of time and energy directing your anger towards that crowd now instead of licking wounds over Jill Stein.

12. Guess we'll just have to vote harder in 2022!!!1!!1!111!!1

THEN we'll get something done!!!!111111!1!!!!1!!

14. We can't get rid of

the 3 justices that were appointed during Trump’s tenure.

[wellst0nev0ter]

21. Expand the courts

[WhiskeyGrinder]

13. RBG staying on didn't help, either.

[Elessar Zappa]

15. We needed to win in 2016.

We lost 3 justices to the conservatives. Some so-called progressives throwing a fit in 2016 is the reason why we are where we are today.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

17. We did need to win in 2016. And RBG needed to retire during Obama's term.

29. Opinion: Hillary Clinton warned us this day would come

Link to tweet

The results are in. Of the five Supreme Court justices who allowed Texas to implement the strictest abortion ban in the nation, three — Neil M. Gorsuch in 2017, Brett M. Kavanaugh in 2018 and Amy Coney Barrett in 2020 — were appointed by President Trump.

You may argue back and forth whether fair warning is ever fair play. But there’s no disputing the fact that Clinton’s red alert came in plenty of time for voters caring about women’s rights to plan how to deal with Trump on Election Day. Did it fall on deaf ears?

Clinton handily won the popular vote but lost in the electoral college. Too many voters, in states where they were needed, failed to turn out or skipped her name on the ballot. The whys of it are being debated to this day. The fact is that some voters might have heard what she said was at stake but still chose to follow the alluring sounds of Trump’s snake-oil campaign.

Had truth won out in 2016, this dark day for women’s rights could have been avoided.

But, perhaps, some consolation might come with the thought that Texas’s dreadful law might serve to mobilize women’s health voters — across the entire gender spectrum — to do what apparently too many failed to do five years ago: flock to the polls to protect reproductive freedom like there’s no tomorrow. There wasn’t one for candidate Clinton five years ago. There should be plenty of tomorrows, however, for the cause of reproductive rights and justice — if voters, next time around, respond as they should have when Hillary Clinton first sounded the alarm.

Now, there’s no excuse.

30. Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it

Right now we are seeing history being repeated in California. There are a good number of people who seem to want Newsome to be recalled and Larry Elder become governor to help facilitate the "Revolution."
