It’s been a rough 48 hours, but one thing you won’t hear from me is a bunch of performative flailing about how voting doesn’t matter or this is all the Democrats’ fault because they didn’t socialism hard enough or some sh*t. Bottom line: The Supreme Court was on the line in 2016 and too many people decided to ignore that threat because of misogyny, false promises of free goodies, legal weed (Looking at you, Johnson voters), or whatever. Of course, the real enemy here are Republicans, who consistently voted for decades to stop Roe V. Wade regardless of the candidate, and they’re not about to stop. Mike Pence is already out here calling for a national abortion ban, and edgelord tweets and AOC Instagram videos will not stop that better than a ballot box. Anyway, you’re going to detect a theme to tonight’s Pajiba Love — it’s voting — and if you have a problem with it, you can bite my shiny blogging butt. (Rolling Stone)

There seems to be a concerted effort on the part of trolls to illogically make the overturning of Roe mean “your vote doesn’t matter,” when, obviously, it proves very much the opposite (2016 voter apathy is what got us here). https://t.co/rNhGUnyO79
