#Republicans #GOP #Election
Up here in Canada, the idea that someone's healthcare can be affected by another's moral or religious beliefs is beyond absurd.
Pretty absurd to me down in the US as well.
Entitled rich creeps who won’t even give the poor in their state the money allocated to them from the federal government.
But they can give it to rich people on the sly to build volley ball courts at their kids school.
While the people it was meant for continue to try to scrape by… or don’t.
Get these lying corrupt people out of my country!
Yup, here in Europe too. We are shaking our collective heads about this.
Unfortunately, we here in the U.S. have a loud, entitled, insulated minority totally incapable of critical thinking and totally convinced they are right. I fear we got a long ways to go toward isolating them to the extent that you folks in Canada and Europe have but I'm willing to stay and fight that fight no matter how long it takes.
I wish our politics were as secular as they rightfully should be according to our founding principles. The myth that this is a Christian nation just won't die off.
@@The_Gentleman_Blacksmith you would think people could read. We need civics classes back.
Issue isn't going away because you didn't behind our backs and we are not having it. The American people are exhausted by the GOP and all the daily drama for the last 7 years. We want you out NOW
@@AlexA-ux2ueWhy are you people looking at polls when you all said in 2016 polls don't matter after they all showed Hillary winning in a landslide? So excuse me but exactly what fkn business do you have looking at polls?? 🧐
@ChrisOfSTARS magats look at anything that is convenient for them at the time. This fool knows Donald dump won't even be elected dog catcher, but polls showing his beloved cult leader winning is a way for him to feel good about himself. 😂😂
@@AlexA-ux2ue The only poll that matters is on election day.
@@chrisofstarshaha lol good point 😅 these people think that just because people don't like Biden that they'll chose trump ? We already had this debate, \°•°/ republicans keep creating chaos and nothing really for anyone except to block popular bills
@@AlexA-ux2uepolls are influenced by the news. The Right owns or controlled 65% of mass media and they WANT republicans in power to keep their privileges. The majority are too busy trying to make ends meet to bother (thanks to consolidation of money & power against workers). In my opinion.
From the clip you showed of the utter happiness of No. 1 passing in Ohio, there were lots of senior women and men who were overjoyed. As someone who is also senior and, like them, was a young adult when safe, legal abortion care was unavailable, when I as a woman I could not get a car loan without my father or spouse as the principle signer (meaning he got the credit rating, even though I paid off the loan.) Those elders, those women and the men who love and respect them, who love their female children and grandchildren, do NOT want to go back to those days!! So, no, this issue is not going away, and with this victory, we will fight and vote harder in 2024!
Well... women have POWER NOW!!
.... and boys are going to school with machine guns!!
Because in their rush to get power, feminists NEVER gave another avenue. They never gave the nuclear family another avenue.
CENTURIES of social, political order, bring thrown out in 60 years... and what we're seeing out of our boys IS A DIRECT RESULT of their posting from the traditional order.
... I'd rather see the credit problems personally.
True.
Yes.
Conservatives try to pretend that abortions never happened in "the good ol' days," but that's merely a fantasy. Abortions indeed happened, but they were done in secret and often used dangerous methods that risked the life of the mother. So banning abortions now won't bring back that idealized fantasy world that never actually existed. It'll just mean that women will be forced once again to seek out secret abortions and dangerous abortion methods.
And the people with the means and resources (the wealthy and privileged) will still able to find safe abortions if they want because they can just use their money and power to pay providers to keep their mouths shut or travel abroad to get abortions in countries where it is legal.
YES! I am 66 and that is how it was when I was a young adult!
It's not just the abortion issue EVERYONE is sick of the hateful MAGA party!
apparently the head MAGA remains high in the polls. Of course, that only represents the opinions of people with landlines who answer calls from unknown numbers.
The abortion issue is not a women's issue. You can't get pregnant without a man. And men don't want the government stepping in and making the decision for them. And fathers don't want the government telling their sons and daughters what they are going to do. People know that an unwanted pregnancy has a dramatic effect on the couples lives their dreams and their potential careers and future income. Its a family matter not an old white MAGA party leader's decision.
Every white straight male American has a right to care about core American values. The same equal right as everyone else. It turns out the vast majority of Americans value freedom and democracy.
Well spoken !
It's beyond abortion. It's about personal freedoms. The freedom to choose is being taken away from more than 50% of the population, but it affects everyone. What else are these folks who want to surrender women and family rights willing to give up?
It's the land of the free, not the oppressed.
You’re saying that the abortion issue is not a women’s issue because it’s the men who get the women pregnant but let me ask……who’s the one getting pregnant? Who ends being pregnant for 42 weeks (sometimes more, sometimes less), going through lots of hormonal changes, and physical changes, as well as going into labor which can often be long and painful, and even postpartum depression afterwards? Who exactly is going through that? It’s not the whole family…..it’s the one getting pregnant aka the WOMAN so, actually the abortion issue is a women’s issue. I mean my sister had a baby at 23, and the only thing about her pregnancy that impacted the whole family, was the news of her being pregnant and then getting her ready for her baby shower, and bringing the baby home. Unless you’ve experienced the women in your life being pregnant, and you actually helped them…..you have no position to say that abortion is not a women’s issue.
It sounds like you're saying the family has a right to privacy and to not be interfered with by the government
And we legalized it! Yay Ohio! If we can do it, Republican politicians should be terrified of 2024!
As an older American that uses MJ for pain and sleep problems I am so happy that older Ohioans are going to be able to get the same relief that I've enjoyed for years in MA. Go Ohio!!
About time. See, the people do have power, if they want it. Everyone needs to vote blue though, before the GOP works out a new way to cheat us.
The Repubs are trying to reverse the vote in Ohio. "State's rights" but only if the states don't do something the Repubs don't like.
A representative democracy is fine if the representatives actually represent the will of the people but the modern GQP doesn't care what the people want, only what they want.
@@reason6835I think original poster is saying the GOP should stop using undemocratic tactics such as gerrymandering
Bought and paidfor by corporate donors
@@reason6835 Yesterday election results disagree with you.
Republicans know they're a minority party and therefore they don't care about representative government anymore.
@@reason6835 Stop whining.. Jezz
The GOP doesn't seem to realise that for around 50% of the population, they had a right for the last 50 years (for most people that is their whole life) that was taken away from them in an instant. You can't just take away a right that a person has had, and not expect that person to be angry about it.
Absolutely!
but gop does realize that you can't win the presidency with popular votes.
This needs more updoots.
Especially such a fundamental right to our own bodies,.
Right?? Usually politicians are afraid to do anything that could get people slightly annoyed for the sake of getting re-elected, but here they've just willingly shot themselves in the foot.
Americans have woken up and are voting for policies over parties and Republican policies are a horror show for everyday Americans.
careful, you said the w word. you're about to be inundated with hateful trolls....
We should only be dealing with the individual issues. I kinda think everyone should register "Independent" and tell the party system to kiss off......
Truth. Vote blue everyone until the GOP is no longer a threat.
@@robertward8035I want more control over the quality of candidates, not less.
@@Arulane Thats not how it works, democracy and freedom means that anyone can run for president. Unless you want to be a tyrant and dictate who can and cant do what in this country. I thought you folks loved freedom and democracy?
Imagine focusing and doubling down so much on a battle while you keep losing the war. That's our current GOP.
Imagine voting democrat after seeing them run this country into the ground and still pretending that you're on the right side of things.
@AlexA-ux2ue Okay. Equate putting men in women's sports with the issue of abortion. And let us know when the two issues look remotely similar. I wish I can point you to any post where I thought it was okay to put men in women's sports. That being said, double down on abortion and continue losing elections because someone forced you or your wife to have an abortion you didn't want to.
@@AlexA-ux2ue Politicians have nothing to do with who plays what sport. If you have a problem with a sport, try taking it up with that sports governing body.
No wonder they love Putin! They have a lot in common.
@@OP-yl2hm I’ll gladly double down on being against abortion. Your side will lose in the end. You bigots are completely anti-natalist, while conservatives and the religious have more kids. It will take a while, but we will take a laugh at your expense when we finally overcome your oppressive lies.
As the father of 2 daughters...
I understand the danger that Republicans pose to women, and anyone else that values self-autonomy.
Thank you. We need to protect everyone’s rights or we all lose.
Stand up for the LGBTQ people as well. They are not hurting anyone and allowing anyones rights to be infringed hurts us all.
Vote blue til the GOP is finished forever.
How hard is it to understand that "The State" is not a great replacement for medical professionals and women when it comes to women's medical rights?
Conservatives appear to be big believers of The State on this issue. I guess big brother knows better after all. hehe
Right. because most states are run by what. Mostly white men
For some people, impossible
@@seymourbutts4654lol then they claim we need to get rid of any regulations that protect people by holding businesses to standards for the public good, cause they are for SMALL government.
If it weren’t for irony, there would be no humor in this situation at all.
Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky turned out! We are saying NO to dictators! Vote BLUE up & down ballots every time America! 🇺🇸🗽💙
And Collective Bargaining is BACK! A lot of great things happening right now!
Yes, we did!
Now we need to keep voting blue until the GOP is gone.
@@topgrainunions are at their strongest in my lifetime, thank goodness. The middle class has shrunk under GOP policies. We need to grow it again, among a host of other things. All of which need the GOP gone.
@@Arulane Don't let the media fool you. Union participation nationwide is only at 12% right now. Roughly ⅓ of what union participation was at its highest, 34% in 1954, but a significant step up from where it was at its lowest, 6% during the Reagan era. Still a victory, but we have a lot more work to do
As an American I realize there is a distinct possibility that we are one election away from goose-stepping authoritarianism. I will do my part to keep that from happening, but just like the people in 1930's Europe, it may not be enough.
There is no culture so great it can't be destroyed by tiny minds.

Well, the people have spoken, they lost Kentucky and Virginia
The GOP: No! We didn’t mean it like that!
Lost Ohio too! Find another line of work, GOP. You are all finished.
They same people pushing national bans.
As grandparents, we will defend the rights of my granddaughters and great granddaughters health care freedoms if they will put it on the ballot.
In Ohio, we got it put on the ballot, thought they did their best to confuse the wording, held an illegal election to try to raise the number of people needed for a change and they lied about both.
We got it in the constitution anyway.
Work together in your state. There are other people just as angry as us, at them trying to make women 2nd class again.
Being a man IMO men do understand women's reproductive rights In this day and age of equality. I'm 60. It wasn't just women that voted.
I'm 64 and have ALWAYS been pro-choice. I'll proudly vote to protect reproductive rights.
Thank u.
Thank you for your support ❤.
People seem to not like having their rights taken away.
except for republicans of course
Just remember all that many Republicans want to see American democracy burn. We have Trump saying how much he admires Putin and other dictators. We now have House leader Mike Johnson saying the money workers have put into Social Security doesn’t belong to them and in about another week the US faces another shutdown because Republicans don’t believe in a functioning government.

As a person apposed to abortion in principle, you cannot get elected with a zero tolerance policy. The fact is there are situations where abortion is the most logical option. And failing to recognize that is going to cost you at the polls.
The problem is that if they were to try advertising themselves as at least moderate on this issue, how would anyone trust them to not go back on their word once elected when being against abortion was one of their loudest rallying cries for decades?
If someone is allegedly "filled" with the "holy spirit" they are going to oppose women's Healthcare, including abortion. The framers didn't intend a government of religious zealots they escaped coming here. My family got here during the revolutionary War, amd won. No one ever wanted a religious theocracy but the zealots. It's got no place in government policy, regulation, or law. Keep ot secular or oppress your neighbor, 2 choices.
Abortion is a medical procedure that exists; it would need to be banned outright in order to get rid of it. But you can't do that because it has other applications besides contraception, and all the reasons a woman might want or need one are confidential information between her and her doctor.
Men also use the services at Planned Parenthood as well. Education about STDs, child care and preparing to become a parent. Many people don't have family to rely on so PP provides greatly needed assistance. STDs increase in areas where these services are eliminated.
you are uneducated
@@rainwitchansy you're right...the trust is not there
It's more than just abortion. It's the privacy of the Doctor's office for everyone.

Claire gets it about the women's vote.
And Republican and MAGA males do not, and they never will.
GOP politics:
- End bodily autonomy for women
- Get trounced by voters for pushing deeply unpopular policies
- Blame loss on Venezuelan Ghosts
- Blame loss on Italian satellites
- Blame loss on Chinese bamboo ballets
- Conclude that democracy must burn.
Because they’d rather be victims than winners.
Don't the dems blame everything on Trump? And Russia? And waycism?
Playing the victim has become second nature for them.
What 'damage to approval rating'? 85% of Americans support abortion but in a poll suddenly its 62 along with 'low approval'? He has done amazing work and any one who voted for him would have no reason to change their opinion. He has continued to stand against Russia and the oil criminals of the world. Biden should continue to be our elected president and lead our country. The scandals, disgust, and criminality are all on the republican side.
@cheechola4749 You left out the Jewish masters
This is the third straight election that they have lost, and they still don't seem to get it
Politicians have no idea what the American 🇺🇸 people think. Politicians live in a whole different world and definitely NOT like regular people!!! 🌹🇺🇸

Once again, the will of the American people has prevailed over the baseless opinions of the Republican party.

This is what happens when you count the actual votes instead of relying on gerrymandered districts and the antiquated Electoral College.
i would not vote for any republican if my life depended on it
What this has taught us, it that the GOP continues to learn nothing, and will triple down for a national ban. What the voters have taught us, is that they want a constitutional amendment, enumerating their rights. If you want that amendment, you need Supermajorities in House and Senate, so do it, give Biden his mandate, and awaken Dark Brandon.
It's painfully obvious that the Republicans aren't concerned with the will of the voters because they are bought and paid for puppets of our foreign enemies. The current republican party goal is to end our government and democracy.
Agreed. We can do it, too.
The issue of such an ammendment is that state legislators would have to ratify, unless Congress passes state conventions, like in the ammendment that ended prohibition, where they knew the Temperance movement pressure on state legislatures was overwhelming. So if a right of privacy(the actual argument behind Roe) was proposed and passed in congress and subject to state convention that would settle it because more than a third of states would vote for it in Large numbers. For example the right of privacy is not in the US constitution but it is the the Florida one, that is why De Santis could not move with abortion on that state(from this video that is a good thing). However such wording would be dangerous because there are numerous federal agencies spying on americans on a regular basis and they couldnt have something as Katz doctrine applied to surveillance.
@@pedrorequio5515 wow, that is all total bs.
@@Arulane All? Abortion is not generally popular but it is popular enough to matter and be decisive in primaries, so GOP lawmakers are not stupid, they cant go against abortion, otherwise they face primary challenges and the supported are really entreched. Soome of the stricter laws for abortion are laws that were enacted when tjose lawmakers didnt believe, it would actually be enforced because of Casey.
People are telling you what we want not what the G O P wants.
Democrats must not push this aside. In fact, they must put this front and center as the main talking point, then go into other issues. If any candidate wants to get elected they must show promise to implement this safeguard.
Plant the flag before Trump and others flip, and further move the goalposts. Show how you voted and how they voted. Show how they allowed this to happen in overturning Roe vs Wade.
Allowed my a$$, they did it. They worked at it, cheated and lied for it.
Republicans keep thinking they can make The Handmaid's Tale real.

@RocketScientist1 good lord

Without gerrymandering and voter suppression the republican party would fade away.
Want to understand your voters? Earn degrees in studies such as geography, sociology, etc., over law. Law degrees only teaches you how to make laws. The social studies degrees teaches you how laws affects the people you supposedly represent.
I think there are a lot of people due to social acceptance “say” they support Trump but when it comes to secret ballots they are just as sick of Him as we are!
It is not going away!
The GOP on abortion is like the dog that caught the car😅😅😅
Claire is right, and though it is particularly true on abortion, the principle holds true regardless of which "ethnosocioeconomic group" we are talking about.
The Republican Party has adopted a number of positions on issues that - in their effect if not their intent - cause uncertainty, anxiety and emotional or even physical pain to these groups on an almost constant, daily basis. If you are an LGBTQ individual living in Florida, for example, it is not POSSIBLE for you to ignore the impact of Ron DeSantis' policies on your daily life. No matter what other things a Republican candidate might offer or promise, when it comes time to vote, the accumulated impact of all that uncertainty and stress will make the decision pretty easy.
Republicans may not want to admit it, but in spirit and principle they have become the White Christian Nationalist Party. Thats the only real consistent thread holding all the MAGA splinter groups together. Until they look in the mirror and see this truth . . . there's no hope for the GOP except in majority white christian precincts.
Understand this GOP: No weeks? 6 weeks? 15 weeks? There is no amount of time in a woman's pregnancy after which she should be forced to give up considering her family's needs, her health, and her doctor's counsel regarding her medical care for the demands of the state.
Just jail Trump ASAP. That's all.
This is what happens when the dog catches the car (with thanks to Beau).
Please VOTE blue
Even if they do "course-correct" it won't help them; most of us don't believe a word they say.
The GOP act like the electorate will have a short memory about the abortion issue, just as they seem to have a short memory about most issues. But it's clear that this issue isn't going to simply fade away because it's an issue that affects the generations of today as well as each future generation. They had been working to get Roe overturned for 50 years, so we know that it's an issue that we can't give up on after a couple years. We have to be as persistent as they are. Actually, we have to be MORE persistent than they are.
Claire McCaskill is awesome. Just awesome. She is highly intelligent, perceptive, warm, and tough. She’s also a brilliant communicator. I’m always glad to hear everything she shares. :-)
And behind closed doors, (or not so closed), now they'll start saying that people's ability to vote is the problem. Or we might get lucky.
I just heard Desantis say it today.
@@larindanomikosand another lawmaker on fox yesterday too.
The other thing is that they lie about their stance which gives them a credibility issue with everything they say
If it weren't mandatory for men and young boys starting at she 13 to have a vasectomy or face prison I'm pretty sure men would have a different attitude. Or better yet make it mandatory for all men to have a DNA test on file so if the woman becomes pregnant, mandatory child support to include all prenatal care and loss of wages for the woman.- sarcasm!
You tell ‘em Claire!
The funniest thing about all of this was last year Donald Trump told evangelicals they were to blame for losing what should have been a good election for the GOP, and they came back to him completely obedient except they demand their abortion bans that most people don't want.
Being elderly, I recall times before Roe. The next two generations had Roe. I've said from the beginning women's bodies should never be a political issue, especially in a country where they fought for the right to vote.
At it's heart it's really about society still undervaluing women's lives in comparison to men...what we need to see is more men standing up & defending a women's right to have autonomy over her own body..
See what's funny to me is... I never ever met a person who took time to fill out a poll, we show up to vote. But your polls are not accurate.
BLUE !!
That picture of Mike Johnson, all he needs is the little mustache
I have never been polled. I really believe that pollsters interview who they choose and already know what the voter will say. The American ppl as a whole aren’t dumb. It just so happens that the fringe bloc of voters are now mainstream. Those folks are a little…slow.
Perhaps they're only polling people with land lines....
2:00 - UP YOURS TRUMP...!!!
It was relaxing to hear a lot of common sense for once
Polls are taken in a sample of “likely” voters who are also likely, in this day and age, to answer a phone call from an unknown number.. not a very representative sample.
I took my Statistics class diligently, but what method of polling could you undertake that would but be volunteer based? There is no real way short of paying random passers-by, and even then that could skew towards the poor... It's kind of hard to sample such things adequately and fairly.
Republican support school massacres too. Is that a problem?
That and anti vax are Republican birth control.
Contrary to what people were meant to believe??? I think many people predicted this outcome.

I have five daughters as well as a daughter-in-law, a wife, a mother (who's near a hundred years old), and a granddaughter who's going to be born in less than two weeks, and in order to protect their rights from draconian laws being enacted that have a deleterious effect on them receiving quality health care, I shall never vote for a Republican candidate ever again in my lifetime. However, that being said, the last time that I voted for a Republican candidate was in 1972 in a local election in Chicago.
Keep pandering to a dwindling base Republicans....I remember when you abandoned me.

How hypocritical can they be they don't want government involved in their business yet they think they have the right to tell a woman what to do with her body the hypocrisy is mind blowing
maga + gop + republikan = INSANITY

Well said, Claire!
Matt Dow’s is absolutely right jn what he said.
It’s a simple minded notion that “life begins” at conception? There is no way to define “life” and the human cells are just as “alive” before conception as after conception.
What exist at conception is the same thing that exists prior to conception, i.e. a potential human life. But we don’t even know whether it will survive to birth. Nature herself might destroy that egg. We don’t know which eggs will survive or which eggs won’t survive.
The idea that life begins at conception is a religious belief. You’re entitled to it, but you’re not entitled to force it on me. Especially as it makes no sense.
The separate sperm and egg cells are a potential human being. The fertilized egg is a potential human being. Up until the point the fetus viable on its own it is a potential human being.
Therefore, a common sense definition of the beginning of a human being would be when it is viable on its own. This is my own religious belief, I don’t care whether or not you believe it , and I’m not trying to force it down your throat.
I feel like it doesn’t matter anyways, because the moment they’re born, those precious lives become “your problem”, “freeloader”, “noisy thing”, etc.
I had a friend who was chased out of church from the pulpit because her children got a little loud. One greasy old guy told my mother to “shut that thing up” when my baby brother was crying.
I could go on, but yeah - tells you everything. The whole “life begins at conception” stuff is a cover. Not for all of them of course - many of us were raised to truly believe this stuff with the most compassionate parts of our hearts, & ignore the truth, the hypocrisy.
If life begins at conception why do we celebrate the day we're born and not the day we were conceived?
This issue isn't about life exactly. It's about personhood, the criteria that make killing wrong: sentience, biological autonomy, the will to live, and everything that's taken away when a person is killed. Embryos and fetuses don't have that. Babies, in a rudimentary but real way, do. There's no harm in not being born.
@@scottcharney1091Absolutely true. I'll take it even further and ask "Why bring a child into a world where children suffer?"
Watch out there @davidtrindle, you are speaking too much common sense and scientific facts for the Pro Life constituency. Also, that freedom to decide independently what is right for you isn't acceptable to the conservative evangelical Christian Republicans. They like to be told what to think even if it's a lie or a conspiracy theory. Oh no, I forgot Republicans and their political leaders NEVER lie to attempt to manipulate others to benefit themselves.
Thanks for your astute statement of facts. I'll be voting to protect equal civil rights for all Americans.💙⚖🇺🇸💙
