I don’t know any dedicated democrat that is in favor of ZERO restrictions on abortion. It will be interesting to see if they finally speak up and end the bullshit of abortion up to the point of birth, and unfortunately in some states beyond that point.
I think your response was thoughtful. My takeaway is that some have money/work issues that delay the inevitable. Sounds plausible to me. More importantly you remind us all that what an individual’s benchmark of their financial state is not the same for all. We all tend to incorrectly view others based on our own perspective. While not being a person of privilege and having earned every penny I have, there are obviously many in far worse circumstances.
I honestly don’t understand why you are being downvoted for responses that are helping to further the conversation.
I would also like to add that while I am still living just above paycheck to paycheck with a tiny amout of emergency money I do still feel like I am privileged to an extent. I am able to take a few days off every other year and I am able to occasionally buy a new game or camera gear. Hell my wife and I saved up and got a ps5 at launch and she secretly saved up and bought me a steam deck. If that isn’t privilege idk what is.
Because lemmy and reddit and most all social media sites is filled with brain dead people. They see the world as black and white. Never grey. They are fed what they are to believe by the media. They then identify anyone who doesn’t think just like them as the enemy. And when I say “think” for them it means adherence to a false narrative that they embrace as a member of a religion. They know the slogans, but don’t dare confront them with facts and have a debate. Because at that point they can’t defend their position and must move onto name calling. So all of THAT is why people wanting to have a real discussion are downvoted.
And if YOU continue to have civil conversations with people who identify as conservatives they will eventually turn on you. You must totally toe the line and never divert from it.
