    The only way Dems can change this dynamic is by offering a real path for protecting reproductive rights: by going to voters with what they need for getting rid of filibuster & codifying new law (which in practice means House + 53 seats, to make up for a few backsliders).https://twitter.com/daveweigel/status/1524420674185400321 …

    GOP's Roe messaging is better suited to news cycles, if not the long term. They've got a new Current Thing every week (Who was the Leaker? Do Dems condemn protesters outside justices' homes?), Dems just keep slamming the "vote on doomed bill" button.

        Yup. That’s why you make sure Manchin is shown as not being pro-choice. It helps voters see more Democratic Senators need to be elected. And the House must stay in Dem control too.

        At least they're all tweeting very strongly-worded tweets?

        I'd predict this could change when Roe gets overturn. It will go to the states & every state will do their own thing. Months and months of legislation, all of which will get covered.

        Wouldn’t the Supreme Court just find a way to rule that law unconstitutional?

        They have majorities now and they're not delivering on their promises. That doesn't excite voters to vOTe mORe bLUe. It just depresses the vote. Everyone's really tired of this.pic.twitter.com/MTPCZSpGMV

        Encouraging pointless protests at people's houses plays into this dynamic!

        Arguably the best argument for this vote now is it’s after the decision is known, it gives Ds a way to say “we tried after everyone knew what was coming, here’s where we stand, here’s what we need”. Maybe it’s not complete strategic ineptness.

        The other factor here is that the actual ruling hasn’t dropped yet, so at the moment none of this is “real.”

        What's the strategy for preventing GOP from taking advantage of blown up filibuster, and repealing/passing national card check, etc? Public opinion?
