Democratic Senate candidate Debbie Mucarsel-Powell tells TNR that Sunshine State voters are “ready to come out to vote and protect reproductive freedom.”
Putting abortion rights in as a federal law isn’t stronger than having it as a constitutionally protected right. There are multiple times when the republicans held both chambers to the degree that they could have passed a law that counteracted an abortion rights law. They couldn’t do so because the right was found to be constitutionally protected.
The strongest protection would have been to have the constitutional protection on the broad right and then federal laws establishing individual guidelines ensuring that there wasn’t variability between the states. But simply having a federal law wouldn’t have ensured abortion rights - anything passed by one Congress can be undone by the next.
The mistake was not voting for Hillary in 2016. Anyone who did not vote for her was implicitly saying they don’t care if abortion rights are taken away. I was (and am) a Bernie supporter, and I have been since before he hit the Senate. I still voted for her, even though I’m in one of the bluest districts in a blue state.
The big mistake was Hillary running a dogshit campaign of “America is already great” and not offering enough to make it worth missing a day’s pay to go out and vote. It’s not the voter’s duty to vote democrat, it’s the democrat’s job to get elected.
If you’re talking about the courts, the dems could have packed them. If people saw them fighting and actually affecting their material conditions, the dems wouldn’t have lost in 2022.

You have learned nothing from 2016.
