    The problem is that women and men who vote to protect abortion are ALSO voting for the same fascists as always. These abortion votes aren’t impacting the down ballot races like they should.

    There seems to be a pretty big group of folks that are okay with fascism as long as it doesn’t directly impact them.

      Yes they are. Nationwide, Democrats have been outperforming polls by 9+ points since RvW was overturned. The #GOP lost 13 out of 15 special elections that were held between General Elections & they just lost Virginia completely. Youngkin has an expiration date.

      Maybe, maybe not. It depends on how you frame the candidates. In my state, the court races were talked about as preserving abortion rights and dems dominated.
