Trump's approval rating hits second-term low as Americans sour on the economy and Iran war

[sealybobo]

But the Democrats still have their core values. The republicans have forsaken theirs.

Did you know that the number of abortions has not gone down at all since they overturned roe v wade? That's because women just order abortion pills through the mail now. Even if they live in states where abortion is illegal.

And Republicans want to stop this.

The Republican party is currently navigating a complex internal and external landscape regarding abortion pills, particularly mifepristone. While many high-profile Republican figures and several GOP-led states are actively pursuing bans or severe restrictions, the party is also split on the political risks of a nationwide ban ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

In March 2026, U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) introduced a bill to revoke the FDA's approval of mifepristone.
STLPR +1

• The Goal: Stripping federal safety approval would effectively ban the drug’s use for pregnancy termination across the country.
• The Justification: Proponents like Hawley argue the drug is "inherently dangerous," though medical organizations and the FDA maintain it is safe and effective.
• GOP Tension: Many House Republicans have reportedly tried to distance themselves from this bill, fearing that a full federal ban is a political liability with swing voters.
  

State-Level Restrictions and Legal Battles
Republican-led states are the primary battlegrounds for current medication abortion restrictions:

• New Bans: South Dakota recently made it a felony to advertise, distribute, or sell abortion pills.
• Controlled Substances: Louisiana classified mifepristone as a "controlled dangerous substance," imposing strict requirements on its handling.
• Mail and Telehealth Bans: At least nine GOP-led states (including Florida, Oklahoma, and Texas) have laws specifically targeting mail-order pills or telehealth prescriptions.
• Lawsuits: Multiple states, including Texas, Florida, and Idaho, are suing to block federal rules that allow telemedicine for mifepristone.

You ..... are either voting for Trump or you say you vote 3rd party.

You didn't read my words ----- I DON'T VOTE at all. I am heling no one. I am protesting against all of them.

Either way, that's helping Republicans. That's helping the rich.

You can shake it any way you like but I am still not helping anyone.

Now I know Trump said he was going to help your middle class asses out, but clearly by now you realize that was a lie right?

Whether he lied or eventually just offered his bare buttocks up the more powerful is irrelevant to me. He is not delivering his promises as I understood them to be while he was campaigning. I must repeat: I no longer vote. As far as I can see, Democracy doesn't exist anywhere in the world today. DEMOCRACY (the most important contribution ever devised for mankind in its history) IS DEAD. I am not 'helping' anyone.

If you can vote in America and you

a. Vote GOP
b. Vote 3rd party
c. Don't vote

You are helping the GOP. This is what they want from the common man.

Democrats want you to vote. Even if you vote GOP this time, we want you to realize you fuched yourself and next time vote Democratic.

Republicans prefer you don't vote. So, you are helping the GOP and you don't even know it. See how dumb you are? You just can't get it.

how do republicans win bobo?..why dont your strange scenario favor the democrats?..your problem bobo is like a few other die hards here...you just comprehend how someone can not like the 2 parties,to you,you have to belong....you and your fellow die hards are why we have what we have...

Even Trump admits Bill Clinton was great. So why didn't we give Gore a chance? That was your first mistake.

Voting for Bush again in 2004 was your second mistake.

Okay but then you woke up 2008 and elected Obama.

Your third mistake was not showing up for Democrats in the 2010 midterms. You rewarded Republican bad behavior.

And why didn't we elect Hillary in 2016? Again, let me remind you that Trump said Bill Clinton was a great president. He even praised Hillary. So why did we elect GW Bush when his daddy sucked, but we didn't give the Clinton's another 4 years? This was your 4th mistake

And then electing Trump in 2024? That was your 5th mistake.

congress has lower approval rating than trump has...lowest ratings ever...

Well that's not how Republicans look at it. They know it's a 2 party system. So if they can't convince you to vote GOP because you aren't that stupid, at least convince you that there is no difference between the two parties and don't bother voting because it means nothing.

There's a reason Democrats never try to convince you there's no difference or to not bother voting.

Take for example the Supreme Court. It is now a totally right wing partisan tool of the GOP. Why is that? Because Bush got to appoint 2 and Trump 3. This is the biggest example of the difference between the two parties. Republicans side with right wing nut jobs and billionaires not We the People.

And you f'ed up by not voting Democratic. Unless you like this Supreme Court, which I suspect you do, which means you do understand the difference between the two parties. I suspect you aren't as dumb as you are pretending to be. You're just making bad arguments trying to convince anyone who's listening maybe that there is no difference. You know there is. You're not as dumb as you let on.

The problem is that no matter how many times you say there is "no difference" between the parties, the arrest and conviction reports say otherwise.

The economic crashes under Republican Presidents, say that economically speaking, the nation is MILES better off under Democrats than Republicans.

But billionaire owned right wing media lies to the American people and keeps them outraged over cultural issues - abortion, gay rights, religious rights, and DEI.

Put it this way. If they can't get you to vote for your own execution then at least convince you that voting doesn't matter. So you are right. If you die, it's not your fault because you didn't vote to execute yourself. You also didn't vote to save yourself but technically, you are right. You didn't vote either way. So if more people vote to execute you I want you to remind yourself that you did not vote to kill yourself. You didn't vote at all.

You could have voted to save yourself but the side that wants to execute you convinced you that voting doesn't matter.

Do I have this right?

By not voting, you are helping the GOP because they want to end anyone voting.

The goal of leaders like Putin is to end democracy everywhere. When you don't vote, you are helping everyone who hates democracy and wants to end voting for everyone.

Use it or lose it.

That's only because Congress doesn't exist any longer. Johnson has, in essence, disbanded Congress. They're not legislating, or doing anything that approaches "oversight".
