Right, so you wanted them to use a valuable chunk of time codifying a right that was not being actively threatened at that time, instead of focusing on the more immediate needs of their constituents? They would have been lambasted for playing politics instead of doing their jobs. Hell, if Ginsberg would have stepped down, we’d still have enshrined repro rights. If the Justice/McConnell situation played out different, we’d still have enshrined repro rights. Hindsight is 20/20, but nobody was focusing on abortion the way they are now, and there were multiple points of failure to get us to the point of it being threatened.
Frankly, it’s clear to me that you have very little idea of how the civic process works. I know this won’t get through, but I’ll stress it anyway: making these big forceful statements while not understanding the process and context of what you’re complaining about makes you contribute to the mental degeneration that is eroding our politics. You should feel ashamed, honestly. You’re not approaching conversations with any amount of self-critique or awareness, and it really shows.
You’re right. I’m not immune to getting frustrated, and I did get carried away there. My central points still stand, but I’ll try to keep my head on straight. Thanks for the reminder.

Had me in the first half, not gonna lie.
You make very valid points but the personal attacks are diminishing. Argue against the topic, not the person.
