Just dropped off my ballot. I think I voted as hard as someone who doesnāt have a Senator or a voting rep in Congress can, so letās hope it works.

Just overheard the person in front of me and cashier at Frys talking about how dems are ādemonizing being whiteā and āhopefully everyone learned their lesson and vote GOP this time.ā
I canāt even. Dems are so insanely bad at messaging jt makes my brain melt.

I think your mistake here is assuming that messaging is affecting that type of person ever. Thereās just a lot of shitty people out there.

What messaging? Is there even a Dem pitch for 2022?
Itās like shockingly refreshing these days to see people politically energized and not wholly fueled by anger

Oh I know it wonāt impact them. Itās just nuts that they just lay down and take the blame on the mess theyāre handed, while simultaneously taking the bait on dumb shit like MUH GAS PRICES which is a battle they canāt win.
I didnāt mean to imply they had a chance at converting assholes like this.
āorange man badā?

The Dem messaging is centering around abortion. Every ad includes ārape and incestā. Never āincest and rapeā.
What solutions to abortion access do they provide? They could have codified it in the last 2 years, they didnāt even try.
No, they couldnāt have. Despite that, they did try.
Why? How did they try?
We didnāt give them $8.

They donāt have the votes. They held a Senate vote while we were waiting for.the Dobbs decision.
How many Senators would you say they would need to āhave the votesā? 70? 80? They had 59/60 with Obama and didnāt do it(Again they didnāt legitimately try). Itās clear they just donāt want to.
Who in their right mind would think getting to 52 Dem senators would do anything at all on abortion. Putting out advertising that says āGOP took away your abortion vote for usā when you havenāt done shit when you had the chance is beyond LOL.
Replace Sinema and Manchin with two Liz Warren types and 50 is all you probably needed.
But as you say, āneedā and āwant to do itā are not the same thing.
I mean I totally disagree. Obama campaigned on it and had 60 senators and they never even attempted it. Iām just not buying it at this point. There will always be a next man up for the Dems that will prevent progress on our side.

I think if we had this court at that time, they are codifying Roe for sure.
Yes, it was a dumb move not to do it then, but blue team isnāt known for its strategic acumen.
