      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 …

      I think people are understating the extent to which the Alito decision would trigger a midterms backlash against the GOP https://www.texastribune.org/2022/05/04/texas-abortion-ut-poll/?utm_campaign=trib-social-buttons&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social …

      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

          A great start would be if they quit fighting movement candidates every single time - donate here in case they don'thttp://Dsausa.us/bigslate-tw

          Women in the U.S. are so pissed off, they are lighting vagina-scented candles less and less.

          I’d say “grow a pair” but the irony of it in context is too much.

          This decision will acutely repel people and get them to vote without the need for anyone to knock on their doors

          2010 Tea Party and 2021 CRT are more like each other, manufactured outrage by GOP operatives. With repro rights, the issue turbo charges itself. There’s nothing manufactured about the threat of losing your bodily autonomy to the state and all that’s meant for women historically.

          It would be nice if the default comparison for sloganeering wasn’t defund every damn time; false equivalence if there ever was one.

          Based on those examples it sounds like our hope lies in an MSNBC/CNN astroturf campaign.

          They also need to convince the movement they mean it, can deliver, and won’t disregard and scapegoat them when going gets tough
