      I think this is right but to do this the Democratic coalition -- including the pro-choice component of that coalition -- need to be much more disciplined than it is.https://twitter.com/davidshor/status/1520476085451993088 …

      In terms of lessons, the failure of groups to condemn RBG en-masse in 14 for not stepping down is going to end up being very consequential and we should probably think critically about why we didn’t do that and make organizational changes so similar mistakes don’t happen again.

      The core difference -- not only on the courts but notably on the courts -- is GOP right is very disciplined. It's carried out a 50 year project to roll back Roe. They've suffered missteps (Bork, Kennedy) but have learned from them and carried forward. Something to learn from

      What this shows is RGB wasn't the problem. The problem has been progressive voters for the past 50 years who often don't show up during midterms, don't vote in state elections, cast irrelevant third-party votes...all too often in the name of "personal integrity."

      The Democrats can't fail, they can only be failed.

          No. Democratic voters are not as focused and consistent as Republican voters. This is supported by the data. While Republicans have been focused on repealing Roe for 50 years, Dems have been lax in defending hard-earned progressive rights over this same period of time.

          it's generally harder to get people torqued up to defend policy that they take for granted
