See this is a flawless bad-faith dig at the Democrats. I started typing up a big list of important stuff they've been doing, as counterexamples to the implication that they're only pretending to care about American women as some weird ploy to get votes, but then I just sound like some kind of overreacting after-school special.

With simple cynicism and dishonesty, this short comment actually does a pretty good job of making the Democrats trying to do something good which is only necessary in the first place because Hillary Clinton (for as much of a useless toad-lady as she was) didn't win the election, and being blocked by the Republicans, and turning all of that into a reason not to feel like electing Democrats.

Electing Democrats isn't the only answer; we need a lot better than them. But yes, electing Democrats would have prevented all these women that are suffering or dying or almost-dying right now because they need medical care (to say nothing of the ones that just need abortions), because there's a big difference between "not as good as we need" and "actively wants to kill Americans." Voting for the first one is not exclusive of working for better outcomes outside the voting booth. Refusing to vote is helping the second one.

I feel like I've already taken this bullshit too seriously by even typing up a longish comment in response, but this variety of bad faith bullshit is just getting too irritating and the outcomes in the real world are very real.
