    The argument that the dems are making is “vote for me and I’ll protect abortion rights”.

    We voted for them, they didn’t protect abortion rights.

    But also, choosing not to stop something bad from happening makes you complicit.

    This isn’t an argument that pro-choice voters should vote for republicans, this is an argument that the dems need to do something if they want pro-choice people to vote for them.

    Same thing with the genocide in Palestine; Dems cannot run as the anti-genocide party while supplying the tools to carry out the genocide. If they stopped sending weapons to Israel and used every tool at their disposal to protect abortion rights, then they could credibly say “vote for us, we’ll protect abortion rights and stop Israel”.
