2. I just so completely agree with you!

They're selling it HARD! Last I knew, Biden's numbers were up - now they using whatever polling data they can to say they're down. They've decided numbers are "tightening" - when haven't they - and suddenly Dems are a point down on a "generic ballot." Big surprise. I think they're polling their own numbers. I hear way less about massive voter registration and the Dobbs decision, too.

Republicans across America are actively scrubbing their web sites and cleaning up their
speeches of all anti abortion messages. We have to make this a one issue election nation
wide. Make the GOP own their Christo Fascism of telling women what they can do with
their bodies.


"A majority of Americans broadly believe abortion should be legal and more than 60% believe people should be able to obtain abortions during the first trimester of their pregnancy, a new Associated Press/NORC poll finds."

I'm willing to bet that the real #s are > 60% ... but the down side the anti abortion folks always votes.

Saying they’ll ban abortion (and maybe more) if they can. Hard to believe people will suddenly forget about it with a bunch of scrubbed websites.

4. The MSM are killing us.

Their "ALL TFG ALL THE TIME" programing is absolutely killing our messaging on the achievements of this administration, which by all metrics are historic.

Tired of the "NO DUTY TO WARN" book club every day and the parade of legal analysts with their crystal ball analysis of the TFG criminal enterprise.

Turn it off. Act locally. GOTV!

so all this news confirming what a vile, traitorous, criminal piece of shit he is isn't exactly helping Republicans, in my opinion.

7. Might be a good time for some pro-choice rallies. Keep this issue on the front burner.

It seems to be getting buried under all the other news of the day.

11. Good. It's been very quiet here. Of course, Illinois seems to be safe for choice...for now.

It was huge. From building to building all across the street and it went on for blocks.

I don't care if it's for the country drain commissioner, only a Dem will get my vote because only Dems deserve to be in power right now. That country drain commissioner could go onto a high position in government and take people's rights away, their stance on abortion is the most important issue to me.
