      TBH I think I read “Biden has made no progress” and “It doesn’t help to deny his failures” and didn’t read in depth much beyond that. I think you’re right that it was unfair to assume; rereading it now, I just don’t really understand what they actually meant. But yeah maybe it was unfair to assume what I did about what they’re saying.

      Like they say “it seems impossible that Biden could have actually addressed abortion rights in any meaningful way beyond what he did.” Okay, agreed… So is it still a failure of his that I’m not acknowledging?

        I think it’s a very understandable failure from Biden as I personally don’t believe stuffing the Supreme Court would be a reasonable approach, additionally Biden couldn’t tell that Democrats would get swept in the midterms when he was elected.

        That all said, Biden very much ran on abortion (in a “I’ll fix it” way - not just “Trump will ban it nationally”) so it is a promise he made that he couldn’t keep. Do I blame Biden for the shortfall? No. Do I think Biden shouldn’t have implied he’d reinstate abortion rights? Yes.

        Anyways, come November I’m voting for Biden because otherwise Trump will absolutely, guaranteed, murder women through denying reasonable healthcare.
