Maybe its my age, but listening to this 20 something abortion activist saying we need to get rid of old white Democrats because they are the reason for this SCOTUS decision infuriates me!!
Dear Zoe Warren who was interviewed by Yasmin Vossoughian around 12:30 PM PDT and claims to work for Rise Up 4 Abortion Rights dot org, old Democrats are not your enemy. And as far as judges and laws, you want winning Democrats and that means flipping purple districts and states, so that means you want the best Democrat for that state or district. Your frustration vis a vis the topic of abortion is misplaced.

a cult run by Bob Avakian. It's not a legitimate part of the movement.

(1,497 posts)according to Google. However, haven't yet found connection between the 2 organizations. Don't doubt you, just want to find the link. So far, only Fox and the Federalist Society mention connection between RiseUp and the RCP/Bob Avakian
I heard Zoe Warren spouting the crap about getting old white Democrats out of office. Wish I hadn't heard it. I thought for a minute she might be part of "Just Us" democrats...
Get the damn Republicans out of office, for starters.

(5,315 posts)It's more like the young democrats who are so upset when their favorite candidate doesn't win the nomination and decide to stay home and refuse to vote for ANY Democrat if its not THEIR Democrat.
Bernie fans, are you listening?
Jill Stein voters, are you listening?
How about those Ralph Nader voters?
Not saying it's not your right to vote for anyone you want. Just saying without Nader, and Stein, and Bernie stay-at-homers, we would have had President Gore and President Hillary. The Supreme Court would have had a whole different look, not to mention the great legislation that would have been accomplished.

(9,376 posts)Enough already! Is five years of Trumpism not enough to get it through their heads that even if you primary every single old white Democrat with a young progressive, and even if you miraculously manage to elect them all, this will not reduce the number of rabid trumpists in the House, the Senate OR the Supreme Court? This is no rocket science, damnit!
Why don't these so called "progressive" demagogues get off their self-righteous butts and do something to replace a single republican, even if they have to hold their noses and vote for an old white Democrat to do so?
On edit, in case I get alerted: I am not bashing any Democrats in this post. I am defending them against attacks from the fringe who are not well known for supporting Democrats.

I do not know who started this fashionable trend to blame Democrats for what Republicans do, but it is dishonest and destructive

(10,137 posts)I got an email from her yesterday afternoon re-iterating her support for choice and her plan to support Nancy Pelosi (another old white Democrat) in bringing a bill to codify Roe v Wade to the floor. My state assemblyman, another old white Democrat, also emailed me that the California state government will continue to back women's choices.
