What message will help Democrats more in November?

Of course both, but pick one.
Discussion: If we have the votes, should Democrats nix the filibuster to address global warming?

We will address climate change. A vote for Republicans is a vote for the planet to burn.

The GOP just told them they can't be trusted to control their personal reproductive decisions. You'd think a slap in the face like that would motivate voting.

that message shows that in many ways a Republican take back of power will crash the economy. Unfortunately, we will only get the votes we need this time if we scare folks spitless. The Proud Boys will be running, and ruining, the economy. Now of course reproduction rights are important but so is the right to live on a life sustaining planet. Coasts will flood, chaos will reign. The Reps are telling us where we will go. Social security, Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, etc. will all be in danger. The economy will collapse sooner rather than later. Death squads? Maybe. Why not? It worked for the "brown shirts". If people are warned about the Republican anarchy that will occur enough might vote for their pocketbooks. At least all will have been warned and we can say "We told you this would happen." The economy is the ONLY winning issue this time. Tie ALL of the important rights and freedoms to that.

And I live in the NJ 7th - what ? 45 miles from AOC.

Her message out here would ensure Tom Kean Jr - a white supremacist would win.

They need to talk about SCOTUS reform, climate change, protecting women's sovereignty, voting rights, and preventing the fascists from making America circle the drain, among other things.
