More performative bullshit by Blue MAGA. The Dems controlled the house and the senate for the first two years of Biden's term. That would have been a nice time to introduce this bill and codify Roe v Wade. They are doing it now because they know it has no chance. The corporations that own the Dems are the same corporations that own the GOP. They work for corporate wealth and conservative Christian religious fanatics. Neither of those groups wants equality of any kind. The Dems do nothing when they have a majority and pretend to try to help when they have no chance of helping. This is WWE cosplay conflict.
But then Democrats would have had to handle the backlash of an energized conservative movement and the complacency of a satisfied base. Now Democrats get enormous cash injections every time a Republican takes another swing at women's health and can force any leftists to knuckle under when presented with the Serial Rapist Loud And Proud Woman Hater candidate running against the Slimy Moderate Corporate Shill Who Definitely Isn't Going to Get MeToo'd Six Weeks Into Office.
And they benefit enormously from this strategy, because liberals displace blame to the left and right of the Do-Nothing Party.
They've fully bought into the theory that conservatives must be pandered to and leftists must be disciplined into compliance. And this is the only way anyone wins elections.
Also don't forget that the rich oligarchs that control the DNC and the Super PAC money also don't want leftist policies.
Neoliberals have access to the same polling data as the rest of us, they know which policies are popular with their voters, but they choose to not pursue what's popular
The biggest motivation for the DNC has and always will be their rich owners.
Exactly. Ever since 2016, when Bernie was not the candidate after winning the primaries, I realized that nothing mattered. The elite were going to do whatever they want and there is nothing we can do to stop them. They distract us with dem vs rep dog and pony shows to divide us further. I’m seeing just as much hate and racism from the left as the right. It’s crazy. I thought we were supposed to be all about peace and love and equality. But I learned that if you don’t agree with them 100% you are a “nazi” or a “white supremacist” even if you aren’t white lol. Until we come together as united people and decide to fight back against capitalism and the billionaire elites hoarding all the resources and destroying our Earth, we may as well consider us all doomed to slavery.
Not true. Bernie lost the DNC nomination by 3 million votes.

Bernie ran a good campaign, and would have been the better candidate, and the DNC put their thumb on the scale for Hillary, but he did not win the primary.
