Best to get the protests in before January, when Trump will send the military after them and start locking people up.

I forgot about the rolling abduction sedans full of us marshalls during BLM riots.

They did the same thing during occupy.

But obama did that one so it gets a pass I guess, along with the child cages, extrajudicial killings, expanding the survellience state etc.

Its just the right wing of the government thats the problem, and not the whole. Thats why voting for a DNC antiabortionist worked so well to reinstate federal abortion protections...

Biden is definitely not beyond reproach but people's positions can change over 4 decades. I look at some of my positions I held less than 2 decades ago and see how far I have come.

I mean Lincoln went from slavery is needed evil, slavery is bad, abolishing slavery, to postulating blacks should be able to vote right before he died.

People change and you should appreciate they got there not complain they weren't always there.

We didn't get to reinstate federal abortion protections because Sinema and Machin wouldn't remove the filibuster and we didn't have 60 votes in the Senate. Nothing to do with Biden, whose administration did actually try via executive actions.
