They are trying to abolish voting, see voter suppression laws and pretty much every voting rights case the Supreme Court has seen during Roberts's tenure.

With the Democratic Party struggling to find a new direction, former President Joe Biden and former first lady Jill Biden have offered to jump in and help with fundraising and rebuilding.
Five years ago The Freedom Convoy formed to protest the government taking away peoples rights. Today peoples rights are actually being taken away and there's not even a whimper.
Everyone who can get pregnant has lost the ability to have safe care if they're in a state with an abortion ban. Someone close to me was sentenced to death by the Supreme Court for the crime of having an ectopic pregnancy and only survived because she saved herself when doctors wouldn't out of fear of being retaliated against.
I've mentioned in previous comments that I'm trans. The regime is specifically targeting trans people by reverting our passports, erasing us from government websites, defying court orders to move trans women to men's prisons, making it legal to surveil us, etc.
None of this would have happened if Harris was president. I agree that a lot of Democrats fucking suck, but trans people wouldn't be freaking out trying to figure out how to survive if Harris had won. Everyone is going through shit, but we're going through more. Republicans' endgame is to have us either in the closet or dead. They're probably getting away with disappearing Mahmoud Khalil and if they do they're probably gonna go for trans organizers at some point.
Biden being president gave us four years to breathe. Harris would have given us another four years. I think the country would have had a complete fascist takeover in the next fifteen or twenty years regardless, but we could have at least given ourselves more time to prepare.
My dream car is something like this but electric. Small, maneuverable, and sustainable is what I want in a car.
