    Interesting thread. I agree that the overturning of Roe could have a huge effect but I want to add this proviso: only if the Democrats organize around it and provide a plausible road map for securing reproductive rights.https://twitter.com/zackbeauchamp/status/1522579553365131264 …

        Thermostatic politics is real but reaction doesn't just happen automatically: needs to be guided by organized movements. 2010= Obama backlash+tea party. 2018=Trump backlash+resistance organizing. If Dems want to make reproductive rights central they need turbo-charged movement

        They probably will, it's one of the few things all donors and democratic voters agree on.

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        They are always skipping the second half of the argument. They nail "Vote blue, harder" but never say what that is going to do to directly address the problem. OK supposing everyone Votes Extremely Hard, then what? Impeach Thomas and Kav? Pack the court? What?

        For better and worse, I’m not sure. Both parties have reliably received enough votes from “negative partisanship” to win elections for a long time now
